EVENTS Calendar
MARCH * Compiled by Pamela A. Keene
Rattlesnake festivals showcase reptiles, wildlife
Don't let the names keep you away from two rattlesnake festivals this month:
Rattlesnake Roundup March 5 in Whigham and the 54th Annual Rattlesnake &
Wildlife Festival March 12-13 in Claxton. Both events are about much more than snakes.
" The purpose of the Rattlesnake & Wildlife Festival is to educate people about the
relationships between humans, wildlife and wildlife conservation, " says Heather Dykes,
event coordinator for the Evans County Wildlife Club in Claxton. " We'll have wildlife and
conservation organizations here who advocate for wildlife, from reptiles to raptors, and
visitors will have a chance to see them up close, but that's only part of the festival. "
Zoos from the Southeast, including the Jacksonville Zoo and Central Florida Zoo,
both in Florida, are bringing a few of their reptiles to Claxton. There's a petting zoo, arts
and crafts, a parade, entertainment, festival food, a car show on Saturday and a gospel
sing on Sunday.
" Our wildlife festival attracts between 13,000 and 14,000
people eager to celebrate nature and wildlife, " Dykes says.
" People have been coming to our event for 54 years and
always learn new things. "
The Rattlesnake Roundup in Whigham features arts and
crafts, a reptile show, snake-handling demonstrations and
entertainment.
" So many people are afraid of snakes, but in many cases
they don't have to be, " says Jet Cox, longtime member of the
Whigham Community Club, which organizes the Whigham
event. " Our event helps people understand the place of
snakes in nature and their habitats. "
