Beaver Creek Reserve reopens butterfly house
Unmute
FALL CREEK (WQOW) - One of Beaver Creek Reserve s more popular exhibits looks a little different now. After 20 years, Beaver Creek s butterfly house has been redesigned, and reopened.
Chippewa Valley Chamber of Commerce members and visitors got a firsthand look at Beaver Creek s new and improved butterfly house Thursday. The butterfly house is larger, and all the butterflies are native to Wisconsin.
Beaver Creek Reserve s mission is to connect people with nature, and its staff is confident the updated butterfly house will do that. In about April or March, we actually started deconstructing the old one that was here, said Megan Giefer, a naturalist at Beaver Creek Reserve. We took everything down, so what you re seeing is totally brand new. It makes me so happy that people want to come out here and view butterflies, share their passion with butterflies.

Due to Weather Canyon Changes Location of 4th of July Celebration
We are about halfway through the year 2021 and the weather has been something else. We had those crazy winter storms all over Texas back in February. We had triple digit heat way before we saw summer on the calendar.
Since summer has officially hit we have seen way cooler than average temperatures. There has been rain that hit us this week too. Due to the rain there have had to be some changes to the celebration happening this weekend in Canyon for the 4th of July.
The Lion s Club Pancake Breakfast, The Fair of the Square and the parade will all be happening same time and same location on Saturday. The change up is going to move the location for the concert with Noah Genda and the fireworks. Originally the fireworks were going to be shot off from Connor Park.
