What is it about owls?
Biologically speaking, the forward facing eyes of owls give them a somewhat human look that may capture people’s attention and imagination. But there’s something more than that, something that’s nearly impossible to define. Owls have held a significant place in most cultures throughout time–sometimes revered and sometimes hated–but they played a strong role either way. Our culture is no exception. If it was, this festival would not draw over half of its attendees from outside the local area!
