Did You Know?
On December 31, 2010, thousands of red-winged blackbirds mysteriously fell from the skies of our small town. The bizarre event made national headlines and happened again in 2011 on a smaller scale. Although the event was unfortunate and uncontrollable, it was an occurrence that created quite the buzz in Beebe!
