Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy is hosting its 3rd annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival in Easton on Friday, November 16, at 6:00 pm.
Festival-goers will enjoy local food, an open wine and beer bar, an awesome array of silent auction items, and a slate of stunning films taking audiences to beautiful places, introducing them to the wildlife and people that inhabit these places, and depicting the individuals who are working to protect and preserve them. The films instill a deep appreciation and a sense of wonder for the natural world that surrounds and supports us.
We hope you can make it to the Wild & Scenic Film Festival this year, November 16, 6:00 pm, at the Avalon Theatre in Easton. The $50 ticket includes an open bar and food this year, as well as the silent auction and films. Proceeds go to support the work of Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy.
In the afternoon on November 16, MRC will also host two children’s programs where 2nd and 3rd graders from three of our local elementary schools will participate in an art program that culminates in watching the slate of delightful children’s films. The 2:00 pm program is open and free for you to bring your children.
