One of my favorite events this time of year is the Beaver Brook Association Fall Festival. This year marks the 28th annual festival.
The mission of the fall nature festival is to get people to enjoy nature. There are activities to emphasize the importance of wildlife and environmental conservation as well.
The theme of the art and photography show is Nature. There is no limitation on who can submit art...entrties are submitted from kids to professionals.
You won't want to miss the two live animal shows. I was in awe and amazed by these shows. One live animal show is a presentation by the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center on local wildlife. Live animals such as turtles and porcupines are featured.
The other live animal show highlights North American Birds of Prey which is presented by Wingmasters. At the show I saw birds such as eagles and hawks and I got a couple of great pictures. 
The Beaver Brook Fall festival has something for the entire family. Visitors from New Hampshire and beyond make it a point to attend. Last year there were over 1200 attendees! You can also enjoy:
Short History of Beaver Brook Association
In 1964 the Beaver Brook Association was founded by Hollis P. Nichols and Jeffrey P. Smith, both of Hollis, New Hampshire. They began with 12 acres of land. Their vision was to foster land stewardship awareness and encourage a sense of appreciation for the natural world. The State of New Hampshire chartered Beaver Brook Association as an educational non-profit organization.
Currently there are over 2,000 acres located in Hollis, Brookline, and Milford, New Hampshire. Hiking, horseback riding, bird watching, biking and many other activities are enjoyed by families on 35 miles of trails. The trails are carefully mapped and designated for activities that will have the least impact on the particular area.
If you would like to find out more about living in Hollis, please give me a call. It would be a pleasure to introduce you to this beautiful New Hampshire town.

Joan, I can see why you enjoy attending this. I don't know if we do anything like this around here, but if we do, I would like to attend it.
Joan,
I love these kinds of events...they are so much fun....enjoy.
Joan, I love these fairs and festivals! We are finally having some and heavy wind and rain is predicted :( Your slide show is wonderful, I really enjoyed it.
George ~ There are a lot of fall festivals, however, this is one that is so unique. It combines art, music, crafts for the kids, farmer's market and old time spinning wheels and a press for making apple juice! The wild life show is also very unique. You are only a few feet away from these rare birds of prey! It is an incredible day for the entire family.
Dan~ You would really enjoy this event. It is a wonderful day of art, music and nature.
Carole~ This is an incredible celebration of fall and all that is sustainable and renewable. The nature show is so interesting and educational at the same time. I thought I would do the slide show to illustrate the unique wildlife which the public can view "up close and personal." It is one of the best festivals of the season.
Really nice presentation Joan! Some great localism stuff!
Thanks Joan -- This is a great Association. They have beautiful grounds and walking trails. It is always well attended. The bird of prey show is absolutely fascinating.
Joan - This sounds like a great event in alovely surroundings, I wish I was closer. No you have me thinking about warm cider. Have fun.
Hi Jennifer ~ It is raining today, but many of the activities are in the barn or under a tent so hopefully people will come out. I'm going to take a peak at the weather report for tomorrow. On the other hand, with the cooler weather, more people will enjoy the hot apple cider.
I love your presentation of this event. Your blog post is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in this event. GREAT JOB & GBU!!
Thanks Elizabeth ~ I thought the slide show would illustrate just how great the wildlife show is. I hope that people will venture out even though the weather could be a bit nicer. Thanks for commenting and GBU, my friend.
Hi Joan, you are becoming an expert in the presentation process and the way you presented this fun filled event is no exception. Nice post Joan.
Gary ~ Thank you for you support and for your feedback. I am not the most experienced blogger and I am learning so much from my participation with Active Rain. Your posts set a high bar and it is a pleasure to read them.
Joan, Thanks for the mini "get away". I love your description and the slide show. You are having a beautiful fall. Ours in Baltimoe is just barely starting
Hi Margaret ~ I am hoping tomorrow will be a little better weather~ This is one of my favorite fall events.
Thanks to everyone for taking time to read and comment. The weather was better on Sunday and everyone who attended had a great time. See you next year!
