Join your local wildlife rehabilitation community at First Magnitude Brewing Company for the 12th Annual Pints and Predators educational festival and fundraiser featuring live birds of prey, creatures of the night, and more! 🦉
Wildlife rehabilitators do the hard work of rescuing sick and injured wildlife. Many of those birds and other animals live through their trauma but are not healthy enough to be released back into natural environments and become educational ambassadors that rehabilitators and educators care for indefinitely.
Pints and Predators is an opportunity for you to see ambassador birds of prey like Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Red-shouldered Hawk, American Kestrel and creatures of the night like Virginia Opossum and bats. There will be a spider exhibit, an American Alligator, and there are always a few snakes including a venomous rattlesnake in a fully-locked safety enclosure. 🐍 🕷️
Tickets at the full donation level of $26 include entry to the event, a sweet 12th Annual Pints & Predators glass, and a drink ticket to redeem for any First Magnitude beer on the day of the event!
