Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Friday, November 18th, 2016

Hurricane Matthew can’t stop Oatland Island Wildlife Center from having their annual fundraiser – the Harvest Festival and Cane Grinding on Saturday, November 19, 2016 from 10:00 until 4:00 p.m.. Join us for some good family fun and experience an old time southern tradition! Visitors will enjoy this festive fall celebration amidst the aromas of hearth baked corn bread, simmering cane syrup, copper kettle apple butter and other open fire cooked foods that visitors can sample.  The Savannah Folk Music Society will fill the forest with traditional rhythms while children enjoy hay rides, pony rides, crafts and games,  a Talent Show and Cake Walk too! Enjoy traditional crafts and colonial living demonstrations such as weaving and spinning by The Fiber Guild of the Savannahs. Food and refreshment concessions will be available. The admission will be discounted from normal special event admissions to $5 for adults and $3 for children (4-17), military and seniors due to limited access to trails and animal viewing areas.
