The day concludes at Rowe Sanctuary with an included Indoor Crane Viewing Experience. Guests should arrive by 6:15 pm. The evening begins with a 20-minute presentation about Sandhill Cranes and Rowe Sanctuary. Guests are then invited onto the patio to watch and listen as Sandhill Cranes fly into the river valley to roost. Viewing is also available from inside the center. Once the cranes begin landing, all guests will move inside the center to watch from the windows as the sun sets.

• A registration link and code for the Rowe Sanctuary indoor viewing will be sent after registering through MONA for the art workshop.
