Festival in Laughlin will appeal to those who love nature

Wonderful opportunities await nature enthusiasts during the first Wings and Wildlife Festival set for March 12-15 along the Colorado River, centered in Laughlin. Organized by a coalition formed in 2006 and called the Southern Nevada Bird and Wildlife Trails Partnership, the event showcases unique creatures frequenting varied habitat along the Colorado River in a tri-state region. The festival brings together experts from local, state and federal agencies, organizations involved with birds and wildlife, outfitters, tour companies and tourism agencies.
