Second Annual Project Wildlife Baby Shower Event


If you enjoy cute baby animals and birds, and supporting wildlife rescue and conservation, don't miss Project Wildlife's Second Annual Wildlife Baby Shower this coming Saturday, March 19, 2011. The event begins at 10 A.M. and continues to 4 P.M.

Project Wildlife, a non-profit dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned and injured wildlife, is located in San Diego at 887-1/2 Sherman Street, just off Sea World Drive Exit 21, toward Tecolote Road.

The event is free to the public and no reservations are necessary. Visitors will be treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of Project Wildlife's intake center, meet many of Project Wildlife's animal ambassadors, enter drawings for great prizes, sample cuisine from the Cohn restaurant group's mobile food truck, "Ms. Patty Melt," and shop for arts and crafts all hand-made by Project Wildlife's army of dedicated volunteers.

Carlsbad Art Farm Owner/Director Perrin Weston Coman is a former Project Wildlife home rehabilitator on the duck team.

Care Center tours are not recommended for pregnant women or immune compromised individuals. For all the information you need to attend the event, or about Project Wildlife, click here.
