As soon as darkness falls, resident owls will be called using a recorded barred owl call. Treehouse Rehabilitation Center from Dow will have an owl for release. Those attending are asked to bring their own hot dog or brat and bun of choice, and possibly a desert to share. Bremer Sanctuary volunteers will provide condiments, chips, water and iced tea.

On Saturday, October 29, Bremer will host its annual meeting and potluck dinner. Beginning at 5pm, special guest Mark Glenshaw will speak on his long-term observations of the great horned owl.
