Date:
Friday - Sunday, April 17-19, 2009

Time:
Full day activities

Overview:
Milnesand, New Mexico may be a small dot on the map, but it is big in the heart of New Mexico’s prairie grasslands. Each spring, the lesser prairie-chicken, an icon of the Southern Great Plains, congregates on traditional breeding grounds called leks to strut its stuff. Witnessing these birds perform their mating ritual is an experience that leaves memories permanently etched in the mind!
