The second event is the Grand Affair held on the second Sunday of September in the downtown area of Wisconsin Rapids. The Grand Affair is a fall festival that includes food booths, craft and clothing vendors, a vintage car show and local service booths. Our booth has children’s bird-related crafts, nest displays, brochures on birding hot spots, and a Monarch butterfly demonstration that allows children to band butterlies, learn about their migration and stages of development.
