January 9, 2019 - GUEST SPEAKER - Kenny Jones

Popular local artist Kenny Jones will discuss how he gathers recycled materials and makes his Bird Shacks. Whether armed with a chain saw cutting swamp wood, stripping barns for metal roofing, tearing down old decks, or dumpster diving for bottles, he has a keen eye for his needed product. He builds and sells about 325 houses and feeders a year. “Birdman” is often at garden shows, farmers markets, and craft shows around the area.
