The RiverQuarium's inaugural event receives praises from families

ALBANY, GA -- More than 350 people showed up throughout the day for the first Wings and Wildlife Festival at the Flint RiverQuarium. Events went on all day, from alligator feedings to a “Birds of Prey” show. The RiverQuarium even hosted a guided canoe tour along the river. 

Plenty of activities were available to the kids. Parents say a favorite among the children was a bird house construction station. 

Thronateeska Heritage Center also participated in the festival, inviting guests to a planetarium show and to listen to professional story tellers. 

Event coordinators say they hope people took away an appreciation for Southwest Georgia wildlife.
