Saturday October 28, 2006: The 2nd Annual "A Very Carnivorous Night and Taxidermy Contest" (and Great Autumnal Taxidermy Get-together)

Contest starts at 8 p.m. Pre-events start at 5 p.m. No cover.

Calling all science geeks, nature freaks, and other renegade geniuses! Bring your beloved taxidermy to Union Hall on October 28 and enter it to win. The contest will be judged by a panel of savage taxidermy enthusiasts, including WFMU’s Dorian Devins and rogue taxidermist Rob Marbury.

Prizes for best stuffed creature, most interesting biological oddity, and more!

This year the taxidermy get-together is bigger and beastlier. Check out the pre-events, and sign up for the taxidermy master class, hosted by the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermy (MART), starting at 5 p.m. and followed by a vegan game feed at 6:30 p.m. www.roguetaxidermy.com

Plus taxidermy-inspired tunes, chat and video!


Contest Rules: This contest is open to taxidermy (homemade, purchased, found), preserved and jarred specimens, articulated skeletons, skulls, pelts, gaffs … and beyond.

Spectators (non-entrants) are invited to drink at Union Hall’s cryptozoologically inspired basement bar, nosh on snacks, and cheer on their favorite specimens.
