Feb 18 – Lancaster
is a town of about 360 people near the borders of North Dakota & Manitoba. Folk say “It’s as far as a body can go and still
speak Minnesotan.”

Outside of
town is a remarkable privately-created bird & wildlife sanctuary. Many years ago, Larry Wilebski started buying
land and planting trees and shrubs. It
has been his life’s work to create Wilebski Bird Sanctuary & Evergreen
Acres, where guests can see many different species of prairie birds &
critters.

As James P. Lenfestey, a writer
for the Star Tribune, said, “I felt like we were on safari. I have never seen
such varied wildlife in such a brief period of time in a setting that wasn't an
African plain or the Minnesota Zoo.”
