LIVINGSTON MANOR - Excitement is building for Livingston Manor's first “Bird of Prey Day” on Sept. 29 at the Livingston Manor Central School.
The event is hosted by Peter Chiavaro, a general falconer and resident of Livingston Manor. Dozens of birds of prey are expected to be on hand for the event, including falcons, hawks and owls.
"Bird of Prey Day could be a once-in-a-life time opportunity for people to experience the world of raptors firsthand,” Chiavaro said. “Licensed falconers will be on hand to answer questions and introduce the public to their birds.”
The public is invited to get close to these wild and powerful birds of prey throughout the day. A tent will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Demonstrations will be held in the LMCS gymnasium at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. There is also a not-to-be-missed flying event scheduled for 1 p.m. on the field.
A variety of craft and food vendors will be on the grounds at LMCS. Many businesses on and around Main Street will also be offering special events and offers.
They include the Catskill Art Society Arts Center, Flour Power Bakery & Café, the Livingston Manor Library, Madison's Main Street Stand, Main Street Farm, Morgan Outdoors, The Plunk Shop, Rolling River Café and Gallery Wildlife Gift Shop and Willow and Brown.
Sponsors include Jeff Bank of Livingston Manor, the Livingston Manor Chamber of Commerce, the Livingston Manor Community Center, Willow and Brown and All American Event Rentals.
Admission costs $3 per person. The proceeds will benefit low-income families in the Livingston Manor School District.
