Holiday market at HawkWatch International supporting raptor conservation, with a public encounter with the centre's Raptor Ambassadors.
HawkWatch International is hosting its holiday market on Saturday, December 12, from 10 AM to 3 PM at their Salt Lake City location. It's a fundraiser for the organization, which works in raptor conservation, and the market doubles as a public encounter with their Raptor Ambassadors—the birds you'll get to meet throughout the day. Every purchase supports a small business and the conservation of raptor species.
If you haven't come across them before, HawkWatch International is a raptor conservation organization. Their work reaches a few different corners of the city. They run 'Reading with Raptors,' a monthly program at the Discovery Gateway Museum where children meet one of the Raptor Ambassadors and read a storybook that matches the bird they've just met, learning about raptors as they go. They also contribute to the NHMU exhibit, where visitors can see Mesozoic dinosaurs like the Utah Raptor alongside their modern-day relatives, the birds of prey.

So, the market is more than just a place to pick up holiday gifts; it's a chance to see the birds they work with and get a better sense of what they do. The Raptor Ambassadors are the same birds that feature in their museum programs and public outreach, and they'll be there for you to meet in person. If you're looking for a way to spend a Saturday morning that supports both local makers and raptor conservation, this is a good one to keep on your radar. It runs from 10 AM to 3 PM on Saturday, December 12, at HawkWatch International in Salt Lake City.
