7th Annual Snow Goose Festival, Jan. 27-29, 2006:
Friday, Jan. 27th, Wine & Wildlife Welcome Reception

Special Book Signing at the Friday Wine & Wildlife Reception

Local artist and author Jackson Shedd will be showing his art and signing his book at the Chico Art Center during the Snow Goose Festival's Wine & Wildlife Welcome Reception and Art Exhibit. His recently published field guide Amphibians and Reptiles of Bidwell Park covers all 29 species found throughout Lower and Upper Bidwell Park. Color plates hand-painted by the author illustrate each species in great detail. The original paintings will be on display as well.

Get wild at the Snow Goose Festival’s Wine & Wildlife Welcoming Reception & Art Exhibit at the Chico Art Center. Now in its seventh year, the festival brings educational and artistic recognition to waterfowl and wildlife of the great Sacramento Valley and Pacific Flyway. Celebrate with us and see wonderful works of art exhibited by many talented wildlife and landscape artists from our region. Bring a friend and meet fellow festival participants, presenters and field trip leaders as you sample a spectacular array of foods that are grown and produced in the fertile Sacramento Valley – prepared by local culinary crafters and professionals. The evening venue includes live music, a no host bar and special presentations throughout the gallery and newly refurbished rail car.
