Playday for the Raptors Children’s Festival

Saturday, Sept 17th
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
Edora Park
Fort Collins, Colorado

Come out for a fun day jam packed with entertainment and birds of prey.

There will be a silent auction, a “paint a suncatcher” table, a giant chalk mural, a Foodies Culinary School owl mask activity and other arts & crafts. TimFoolery, the magician, will perform, as well as The Best Face Painters. Enjoy a climbing wall, giant inflatable slide, Kidzfit jump castle and Crackerjack the storyteller & Colorado Eagle mascot Slapshot.

Enjoy games for the whole family (geared to 5-13 year olds), including a cupcake walk game, bean bag toss, pinata, egg-and-spoon race, fire brigade relay, scavenger hunt, water balloon toss, ring toss, tug of war, sack races and more! There will be great game prizes and door prizes donated by our sponsors, including Elitch Gardens, Boondocks Fun Center, Denver’s Wilderness Experience, Carmike Theatres, Fort Fun, Christy Sports, Cinemark Theatres, Chippers Lanes, Pump It Up, Weld Family Chiropractic and more!

Adults are sure to be interested in silent auction items, including: Ft Collins Hilton Overnight Stay in deluxe king suite & breakfast for two, Denver Broncos Autographed John Elway Print, Ft Collins Hilton High Tea for four, Ranch-Way Feeds Bag of Dog Food and pooper-scooper, Ranch-Way Feeds Bag of Bird Seed, Nordy’s BBQ gift certificates and other items.

Bring a blanket and enjoy a picnic in beautiful Edora Park. Bring a gift for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Wish Tree (http://www.playdayfortheraptors.com/Raptor_Wish_Tree.html). Festival food, ice-cold drinks and more than 30 exhibitors that serve families, kids and parents will be there. Free general admission with affordable game and activity tickets.

This fun event is a benefit for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program (http://www.rmrp.org) of Fort Collins. It will help the organization continue its rescue, medical care, rehabilitation and public education efforts to give injured, sick and orphaned eagles, owls, falcons and hawks a second chance at freedom. Last year they had an 88% release rate!

Come on out and play! It promises to be a HOOT!

The event is still looking for additional volunteer help, as well.
