One of my favorite parts of our banquet each year is recognizing our 40+ hour a year volunteers. These individuals help make Potawatomi Wildlife Park possible. They take things off my plate so I can keep moving forward with new ideas, projects, and opportunities for the park. Their time, dedication, and friendship mean so much to me.

This year, each of these volunteers will receive a beautiful, one-of-a-kind cup from Envision Design. We have been so impressed with their communication and the quality of their work. Then they surprised us by donating the cups to the park! Their generosity was completely unexpected, and we are beyond grateful.

Please go check them out! I know I’ll be ordering again—I’m already thinking about Christmas gifts, birthdays, and future park activities. Thank you, Envision Design, for helping us make our volunteers feel as special as they are!

Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets for our Annual Banquet & Trivia Night! We look forward to seeing you tonight!

All tickets have been sold. Tonight’s banquet is our once-a-year ticketed fundraiser, and a purchased ticket is required to attend.

If you didn’t get a ticket, you can still support Potawatomi Wildlife Park by bidding in our online auction! Photos of all the baskets and the bidding link are on our main page.

Also tonight, from 9–10 p.m., the Michiana Star Party will be in the Observation Field, ready to show the community the stars! Stargazing is open to the community, and no banquet ticket is needed.

For stargazing, drive past the pavilion, where the banquet will be taking place on your right. Continue over the hill, park in the Visitor Center lot, and walk to the Observation Field. Please head directly to the Observation Field for this activity.

Thank you for supporting the park and helping us keep it free for our community throughout the year!
