Pelican Fest 2011 began with an omelet breakfast by the Lake View Lion's Club (I failed to get a picture of this) that was enjoyed by over 300 people. Other events of the day included viewing of live pelicans around the lake. The wilflife group SOAR were present with a few live birds like this grey horned owl and a screech owl that was released just before I got there. The local museum was the site of 3 hourly power point presentations by Rene Stroud of the Sac County Conservation Dept. Over 80 people visited the museum during this time. There were also Percheron drawn wagon rides for those wishing to re-live the slowness of traffic before the invention of the automobile and THEN....
the "grand finale" of this year's Pelican Fest was the first ever PELICAN PLUNGE! The creative entrant shown here even created and wore her own specially designed jewelry for the event before taking the plunge herself! Other than the fact the warm weather turned cold and cloudy it was a successful event and one to look forward to again next April 15!
