Kellerton Grassland Bird Conservation Area will host a Prairie Chicken Festival April 6th and 7th. Yankton Chief Blue Star Eagle, Sherwyn Zephier and wife Estellene will provide a public program on Prairie Chickens in Yankton culture and world class Prairie Chicken dance. Native drum and dance regalia will be included at a public program hosted by Ringgold County Conservation Board at 5:30–7:30 PM April 6th at the Ringgold County Courthouse Assembly Room in Mount Ayr.  

On Saturday, April 7th, there will be Prairie Chicken viewing at the Kellerton lek site before dawn ~6:30AM at the 9th Annual Prairie Chicken Day hosted by the Iowa DNR with professionals and spotting scopes available. Mr. and Mrs. Zephier will provide a second program at 8:30 AM at the lek. However, Prairie Chicken dancing and drumming will not be included for the event at the lek. A coloring contest of a Prairie Chicken will be set up for children attending the event. The pictures will be judged after the 8:30 AM Program and the winner will receive a small prize.  

Everyone has an understanding of the importance of Bald Eagles to our American way of life. The role of buffalo to native community is legendary. Plan to learn the importance of Prairie Chickens to first nation culture at this educational and entertaining presentation.
