Sonny "The Birdman" Carlin
The Museum of the Gulf Coast and the Port Arthur Convention & Visitors Bureau are teaming up to present a free Family Fun Day that is “For the Birds!” as part of the city of Port Arthur’s 125th Year of Celebration.
Guests will be admitted to visit the museum for free from 10 a.m. until 1p.m. on Saturday, May 13, to raise awareness for World Migratory Bird Day, which is also May 13.
Headlining the event will be Sonny “The Birdman” Carlin from Exotic Wings Productions. Other live animals at the event include the Stable Spirit Therapy horses, Live Snake Education Experience with non-venomous snakes, and a bee educator from Muldrow Bee Farm. There will also be activities for the whole family.
The Big Thicket National Preserve, Sea Rim State Park, and the Sabine Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist Association will all be on site sharing fun games and educational material about the migratory birds that come through Southeast Texas.
LifeShare Blood Center will be holding a blood drive on-site during the event hoping to reach the goal of eight donations to help supply the blood bank for local hospitals.
