Friends member, Brad Wiley, spruced up the Friends booth with some of his highly detailed bird carvings at the first Suwannee Art Festival.  Brad and Miriam Wiley talk birds with a Friends booth visitor. We had a great time meeting and chatting with neighbors and nature lovers about the unspoiled area we love.  Debbie Meeks and Miriam Wiley show the booth.
