The Godwit Days Festival I attended this weekend was a big success for me! There were lots of birdwatching tours, lots of conservationists and non-profits, lots of dedicated people. I met so many folks that really appreciated what I was doing with my art and it was very validating. I also met many of the board members for the event, as well as the organizer of the San Diego Bird Festival, too.
I’m so happy I went! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in birding in the Pacific Northwest of the US. It was just big enough to draw a lot of folks but not so big that it felt overwhelming. The exhibitors clearly cared deeply about what they were doing and making connections with other people.
I sold many more greeting cards & prints than I thought I would. The organizers were incredibly helpful and friendly, with volunteers there to help us set up and take down if we needed assistance. It was a great event for me, and I am excited about going back and doing it again next year!
