‘ By MCKENZIE CASSIDY. comDozens of cars lined up on El Dorado Parkways try to gain admittance to Cape Coral’s annual Burrowing wl Festival this weekend. They came from all over the world to pay homage to the city’s most recognized wildlife celebrity the burrowing owl. For lovers of nature the Burrowing wl Festival is the Woodstock of all wildlife festivals. According to Pascha Donaldson president of Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife the seventh annual festival shows the city that ecotourism is an untapped market. “We want to emphasize that ecotourism is alive and that people from all over the world come to Lee County see the owls” said Donaldson.

Wheeling Intelligencer WV -
‘WHEELING – Wheeling’s celebration of black culture has a new name and new faces. Formerly called the African-American Jubilee the annual celebration has been renamed the hio Valley Black Heritage Festival slated to be held June 27-28 at Heritage Port. The announcement of the new name comes during Black History Month. Committee members wens Brown Joyce Brooks and Teri Seals decided to change the festival’s name to give the free event and the group of organizers a fresh start. Brown said the festival’s goal is not only to celebrate black history and culture but to bring people together. “We thought it was also best to change the name to encompass more of the hio Valley heritage to make it more expansive inclusive” Brown said.
