It was the first web-based discussion forum of its kind targeted specifically to Purple Martins that was available to everyone with Internet access. The Purple Martin Forum quickly grew into the most visited Purple Martin web site on the Internet. </div> <bR> <div> As forum participation grew there soon formed a core group of individuals who became friends through their frequent communication on Purple Martin behavior and colony management techniques. One of the earliest participants was Chuck Abare of Athens, Alabama. Chuck suggested that several of the regulars on the forum meet at a central location in order to meet face to face with the others that had become friends through participation on the forum. </div> <bR> <div> The organizers suggested that the group meet at the home of Victor Stoll in Finger, Tennessee. Victor's farm was centrally located and also hosted the largest colony of martins in North America. Everyone agreed that the Stoll farm would be an ideal location for the first meeting of forum participants. </div> <bR> <div> During the summer of 1998, thirteen forum participants met with the Stoll family and had a great time meeting and visiting with one another and enjoying the aerial show overhead. Vic Jodts of Missouri was in attendance and he made the comment that we were all having a regular "martin fest". Right then Vic unknowingly coined the phrase that became synonymous with the event ever since -- MartinFest. </div> <bR> <div> The event has grown over the years from humble beginnings to well over 500 participants, making MartinFest the largest gathering of Purple Martin enthusiasts in North America. Since its beginning, MartinFest has become an international event. Last year twenty-three U.S. states and two Canadian provinces were represented at MartinFest 2004. </div> <bR> <div> The Purple Martin Forum was handed over to the Purple Martin Conservation Association in 1999, but the PMCA does not sponsor MartinFest. All individuals and martin organizations are invited and encouraged to attend MartinFest each year. </div> <bR> <div> MartinFest provides an opportunity for all martin organizations and enthusiasts to come together each year to enjoy the camaraderie of old friends and an opportunity to make new ones, all in the name of Purple Martin conservation. </div> <bR> <div> MartinFest is also a not-for-profit event. All funds generated by admission fees and the raffle of prizes that have been generously donated by individuals, manufacturers, and organizations go back into the budget for the next MartinFest. </div> <bR> <div> At MartinFest we continue to focus on the conservation and enjoyment of one of nature's most beautiful gifts - the Purple Martin.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> GENERAL INFORMATION:</div> <bR> <div> You are welcome to bring your pets, but please keep them on a leash, and perhaps bring a baggie or two for their waste. </div> <bR> <div> MartinFest is an alcohol-free profanity-free event. </div> <bR> <div> If you are driving and have some extra room in your vehicle you might want to consider bringing some additional items. Tents and chairs will be provided, but having a few extra is always nice. </div> <bR> <div> Some other items to consider: </div> <bR> <div> umbrella</div> <div> camera</div> <div> sun block</div> <div> hat</div> <div> comfortable shoes</div> <div> bathing suit if your motel/hotel has a pool</div> <bR> <div> If you would like to donate a door prize, please be sure to bring it with you. Your donated door prize will be registered and collected at the admission station on Saturday morning. Your generosity is much appreciated. Larger donations will be raffled as to generate MartinFest funds. This is a non-profit event, and all money collected pays for the equipment, food and start-up event planning for the following year. </div> <bR> <div> TRAVELER'S INFORMATION:</div> <bR> <div> FINGER, TENNESSEE INFORMATION</div> <bR> <div> The location of MartinFest is in Finger, Tennessee.

Don't miss it!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>First Annual Purple Martin Roost Festival</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The First Annual Purple Martin Roost Festival was held at the Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo, NC on August 6, 2005 from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM.  For a first time event, it was a huge success as 407 people attended.  It was an idea by Alisa Eposito of Columbia, NC to bring attention to the Purple Martin Roost at the William B. Umstead Bridge in Manteo, NC.  The roost hosts 100,000+ Purple Martins and many thousands are being killed as the come in to, and leave from, the roost in the mornings and afternoon.  The roost has been in existence for at least 20 years.  This Festival was held to show the state of North Carolina, Dare County, and Manteo, NC what a special thing they have, and that installing fencing along the bridge should protect the birds, as well as motorists.  So far, the NC DOT has put up flashing signs warning of low flying birds and that motorists should reduce speed.  The event was sponsored by Roanoke Island Festival Park, Outer Banks Birdwatchers, Wild Birds Unlimited of Kitty Hawk, Carolina Country, and Lasseters Landing. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Purple Martin Roost Project is a partnership of Audubon North Carolina, Defenders of Wildlife, Federal Highway Administration, North Banks Bird Club, North Carolina Aquariums-Roanoke Island, NC Department of Transportation, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, Purple Martin Conservation Association, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Alisa Eposito gave a presentation on “Attracting and Managing a Purple Martin Colony”</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>There were exhibits and a Kid's Art show.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sandy Bunn and Tim Francis gave a demo on “Gourds to Birdhouse”.  Sandy showed how to mount access ports, vents, CPVC pipe tunnel for hanging, and SREH.  Sandy showed how to cut a crescent into a gourd, and also, how to mount a tunneled WDC entrance which had a 6” wide porch.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The American Wildlife Refuge had a show of some beautiful live “Birds of Prey”.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>John Tautin, of the PMCA, gave a presentation on “Locating and Protecting Purple Martin Roosts”.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>There were many items raffled off, including, but not limited to, an EZ Lift Pole and Gourd Rack by S&K MFG., tickets to the NC Aquarium, a birdfeeder, a homemade Purple Martin plate, subscriptions to Carolina Country magazine, 8 compartment Nature House martin house and pole, and several other items.  I am sorry, but I know that I left some items and those who donated them, but during the raffle, I was busy doing other things.  S&K Mfg. also donated several bird feeders that were raffled off every half hour.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>There were many booths setup.  Some included, and I know I left some out so I apologize, The PMCA, a booth about the restoration of wolves into the area by the Red Wolf Coalition, Jeff Lewis nature photography, a booth by Alisa about the Purple Martin and the Roost, the NC Birding Trail, The Conservation Fund, a booth by the US Fish And Wildlife Service about Migratory Birds, Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, North Banks Bird Club, Entrances By Sandy, as well as a few others.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The day was then topped off by some who took a boat ride to the roost for a close up view.  The boat got us within 200 feet of the roost.  It was awesome.  The boat was provided by Outer Banks Cruises.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If you would more information about the roost, please visit </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman" ><A HREF="http://www.purplemartinroost.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.purplemartinroost.com/"><U><B>http://www.purplemartinroost.com/</B></U></A></FONT><B>  This is a website set up by Alisa Eposito.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Here is a link to some pictures that were taken by Tony Molica.   </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman" ><A HREF="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flagtony/album?.dir=/79c2&.src=ph&.tok=ph9F1bDBtH6hm8Q7" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flagtony/a"><U><B>http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flagtony/album?.dir=/79c2&.src=ph&.tok=ph9F1bDBtH6hm8Q7</B></U></A></FONT><B>  If you decide to publish this article, you can use any of these pictures you want or the link, but please be sure to give Tony credit for taking them.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>We have many exciting goals to accomplish in the future to continue drawing attention to and celebrating the martin roost in Manns Harbor, including development of a martin observation area at the foot of the bridge, meeting further public awareness campaign and roost protection goals, and annual festivals. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>I would appreciate it, if any North Carolina landlord or wannabies would contact me;
