FENCE participate in Super Saturday
-
Signs of spring are evident everywhere you look this time of year. With the emergence of new flowers, leaves, even new animals, it is hard not to become infected with a sense of appreciation for the life around you. Yet in Tryon, there is another sign of spring—Super Saturday. This event, held in annually in Tryon, is a celebration of the arts geared towards kids. There are theatre performances and special demonstrations every hour, but between shows attendees are browsing different vendors along the street. This is where FENCE comes in.

FENCE will provide kites to the first 200 children who arrive and there will be drinks and snacks for all who attend the event.
This event is made possible by the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation.

International Bird Guide, Aaron Steed to present an Armchair Traveler
-
A wonderful Armchair traveler presentation to be held in the great room. Aaron Steed, international traveler and bird guide, will recount his recent travels around Spain. For many, Spain brings to mind incredible food (especially 'tapas'), world-famous wine, and a fascinating history & culture. It is perhaps less widely known as a bird watching or eco-tourism destination, yet it has some of the best bird watching & natural areas in all of Europe. It is also home to the world's most endangered feline - the Iberian Lynx!
