370 guests attended Fontenelle Nature Association’s (FNA) annual fundraiser, Feather Our Nest. The April 29th event was held at the Livestock Exchange Building and featured a silent auction, dinner, live auction and raffle. This year’s theme was “The Beginning of a Mammoth Adventure,” which celebrated the organization’s upcoming Ice Age: The Real Story exhibition. Highlights of the evening included a special seven-year-old guest, Jack Smith, who shared his passion for the Ice Age, a video presentation about FNA’s youth environmental education program, H2Omaha– which is supported by event honorees William H. Leopard and the Omaha Schools Foundation–and a lively auction that included a trip to Hawaii and a Nebraska golf package. Feather Our Nest was organized by more than 75 community volunteers, including 34 FNA guild board members. Event chairs were Jennifer Peterson and Kara Plumb. They were assisted by Denise Barrett, the guild president, and the chairs for community support–Ann Christiansen, Beth Smith and Cheryl Smith. For more information, visit www.fontenelleforest.org.
