Has love ever made your head spin? Have you ever blown your budget on an expensive date, or done crazy things to win someone's affection? You're not alone! Learn about the lengths that non-human wildlife go to find dates and mates, in this animal courtship program. Enjoy wine, chocolates and other treats while the naturalists give a presentation on courtship rituals in nature. We'll look at prairie chickens' crazy dances, cicadas' serenades, bucks battling and more! There will be plenty of social time in an atmosphere of soft lights, cool jazz and the beautiful surroundings of the Creek Bend house. This program is for individuals, as well as couples. To register, call 630-444-3190 or email programs@kaneforest.com. The fee is $30/person.
