Monte Vista Crane Festival fans do not despair! The Monte Vista Crane Festival Committee is hosting a trimmed-down, online event to celebrate the return of thousands of Sandhill Cranes to the San Luis Valley.

On March 12, the Monte Vista Crane Festival invites Crane fans to join in a special web presentation with stunning videos and slideshows featuring wildlife and photography experts, as well as San Luis Valley community members who somehow play a role in how cranes move through the Valley. The two-hour event will offer a live chat option for two-way participation.

The lineup includes a feature video, “Cranes of the World,” shorter videos and slideshow images by award-winning wildlife photographer Ed McKerrow.

The event is being held in partnership with the Monte Vista Crane Festival Committee and Friends of the San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuges.

Tickets for the online crane festival are $15 and available at www.mvcranefest.org. Folks can join the live event on March 12 at 7:00 p.m. or watch it at their leisure from March 13 – 17.
