Yesterday my husband and I went with our youngest son to the New York State Power Authority Wildlife Festival at the Power Vista in Lewsiton. It's in it's 25th year, however, this was actually the first time we've attended.

They had a nice aware of displays and booths both outdoors and inside the visitor's center that focused on wildlife and conservation. We learned about birds of prey, like hawks and eagles, along with owls. Our son had the opportunity to shoot a bow and arrow and fish. Since he is a Cub Scout, he was able to earn a patch by visiting ten of the displays and learning something from each.


Nickle City Reptiles and exotics put on a good show with a variety of mammals, birds, and reptiles. My son also had fun looking at the energy displays that are part of the Power Vista's permanent displays.
