Have you ever seen one of those flying creatures up close? Ā If you’re not too scared, this Saturday will be your chance!

Onondaga Cave State Park is hosting Missouri’s first Bat Festival on April 21st. Ā Read more below from The Rolla Daily News:

Rob Mies is coming to Missouriā€™s first ever Bat Festival on Saturday, April 21, at Onondaga Cave State Park. And heā€™s bringing a few of his furry friends.

Mies is the director and founder of the Organization for Bat Conservation, the largest grass-roots bat conservation program in the United States, with headquarters at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The organization presents some 1,500 live shows a year to educate people about one of the worldā€™s most unique, and misunderstood, animals.

Mies, pronounced ā€œmy-ess,ā€ has become somewhat of a celebrity; his work has been featured in television documentaries and he has made appearances on shows hosted by Ellen Degeneres, Conan Oā€™Brien and Regis and Kelly. Mies does the talking, but his friends are the stars.
