Our popular outdoor fundraiser returns on Sunday, September 15, 3:30-7:00 pm. Tickets are $150/person. Registration is now open.

Enjoy drinks and appetizers, a professionally created gourmet meal, and exciting live and silent auctions of great art and other surprises. All proceeds help us protect the tallgrass prairie and all the exciting education programs and happenings at Spring Creek Prairie.

In the event of a weather-related cancelation, you will be notified by email and notices will be posted to Spring Creek Prairie’s website and social media pages.

Your generous support protects 1,160+ acres of native tallgrass prairie, a rare ecosystem found only in the Great Plains.
