University of Illinois Extension and DeKalb County Forest Preserve offer this free event for families to get out, have fun, and explore an enjoyable destination. Plan your day with this schedule.

Illinois Extension staff and volunteers provide a variety of educational and recreational activities for the whole family. “This is a festival about the season of winter, so it doesn’t matter if we have snow,” said Illinois Extension Educator Peggy Doty. 

Hoo Haven will be doing a presentation on Birds of Prey. This is a great opportunity to see a hawk and an owl up close. What a great photo opportunity! Bring your questions.
