The Prairie Ecology Bus Center (PEBC) and the Jackson/Cottonwood County Cattlemen’s Association, are proud to present the Fourth Annual “Prairie Steak Fry” on Monday, August 1st at the Heron Lake Community Center, 312 10th Street, Heron Lake, MN from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. Sponsors are Extended Ag Services, Inc., Extended Ag Insurance Services, Inc., FCA CO-OP, enXco, Kozy Heat Fireplaces, and Pioneer. This friend-raising/fund-raising event will be an entertaining night filled with excellent food, great entertainment and a chance to learn about exciting activities happening with the Prairie Ecology Bus Center! Dinner tickets are $15 per plate and can be purchased at PEBC (507-662-5064), from any PEBC board member or at Extended Ag Insurance Services, Inc.

A full steak dinner, grilled by the Cattlemen’s Association, with dessert by the Jackson County Dairy Association, will be followed by a short PEBC program. Topping off the evening will be an entertaining presentation featuring Douglas Wood.

Author, illustrator, musician, composer, naturalist, wilderness guide…it is hard to pin a label on Douglas Wood. Many know him best from his classic children’s books like Old Turtle and Granddad’s Prayers of the Earth; others from CDs or concerts or keynote presentations around the country. What connects it all is a passion to communicate in words and music the wonder and mystery to be found in the natural world and in the human story. You won’t want to miss this great evening!
