This
year's EagleFest in Narrowsburg, New York,
achieved record attendance at all of the day's many exciting
presentations. Due
to the dedication and endless hours of work that John and Yoke DiGiorgio
have spent from the moment they conceived of EagleFest, through to the
sixth annual EagleFest in January 2007.
John
DiGiorgio, a wildlife photographer, and his wife, Yoke Bauer
DiGiorgio, work toward promoting awareness and understanding of the
beauty and heritage of our wildlife. If you would like to know more

The
"Live Birds of Prey" Program by Bill Streeter of The Delaware
Valley Raptor Center was a favorite for all ages among the many
educational events of the day. The spectacle of a full-grown Golden
eagle and Bald Eagle was awe-inspiring.
Tony and Barry of
River Gallery, The Art of Living, generously hosted the day's
silent auction of the large number of one-of-a-kind artist
posters created for this event. The silent auction, featuring
many famous and highly collectible artists, was a huge
attraction, with spirited bidding in the final moments.
All of the
proceeds from the silent auction went towards the not-for-profit
Delaware Valley Eagle Alliance for current and future EagleFest programs.
On display and
for sale were Featured Artist Wanda Gangel's signed and numbered limited
edition 2007 Eagle Fest posters, as well as were limited
quantities of past years' limited edition EagleFest poster offerings .
