Featured Speaker
Walt Anderson
Master naturalist and author of Inland Island: The Sutter Buttes

Dinner by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Restaurant and Staff
Beer & Wine (No Host)

We welcome you to join Walt Anderson as he weaves words and images into a compelling story of the Sutter Buttes – a unique geological formation that he likens to an island of upland in a sea of lowland, much of which has been converted to agriculture.

Sacred Range to the local Indian tribes, the landscape of the Sutter Buttes today remains surprisingly intact, its stories still there for the telling. This is an engaging sense-of-place story, a connection with landscape that many of us can only begin to imagine.

Walt will be available to sign his book from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Mezzanine Room, prior to dinner.

Silent Auction & Live Auction!

At 5:30 p.m. on Saturday January 28th, the vibrant Silent Auction returns to the Mezzanine Room of Sierra Nevada Brewery. New this year will be our live auction featuring floats trips, catered lunches, and one-on-one expert birding tours.

The Silent Auction will include a variety of exquisite items including works of art from each of the artists participating in the Wildlife Art Exhibit. Enjoy the evening bidding on these excellent pieces as you help support the Snow Goose Festival. Your support directly affects our ability to ensure that the Snow Goose Festival remains a part of the North State’s premier birding events.
