We had a wild visit in the studio today with Zane, an African serval, and you can visit with him and more animals at Hawk Creek's Wild Renn Fest this weekend.

Wild Renn Fest takes place July 20 and 21 at Hawk Creek Wildlife Center. Hawk Creek is only open to the public a few times a year, and this weekend is an opportunity to see the animals up close for yourself.

The event is a fundraiser for Hawk Creek, whose mission is "to educate, empower and preserve so that we will all thrive together. We inspire minds to become environmental stewards and conserve wildlife to fulfill the circle of life for generations to come."

Wild Renn Fest includes animal encounters, a Hawk Walk, rat circus, Flying Birds show, live music, a beer tent. and more.

Tickets are $16 for adults, $9 for kids, and family packs are available for $36.
