In celebration of Earth Day, the Wyoming State Museum, in partnership with Audobon Wyoming, will host the educational festival focusing on conservation, ecological and other environmental topics.
The Earth Day festival runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., April 21, on the grounds of the Barrett Building, 2301 Central Avenue and is free and open to the public. Numerous organizations from around Cheyenne will be on hand with informational booths to provide guests an opportunity to learn about conservation, wildlife, ecology, recycling and other topics relating to maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Earth Day activities for children such as face painting and a scavenger hunt, as well as refreshments and T-shirts (while supplies last) will be available.
In conjunction with the festival, the State Museum will show the film, "John James Audobon: Drawn From Nature," at 7 p.m., April 20 in the Multi-Purpose Room. Presented as part of PBS' American Master's Series, "Drawn from Nature" will trace Audubon's career from an unlikely beginning to his continuing legacy.
