Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge Closed Due To Federal Government Shutdown
ZIMMERMAN - The Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge in Zimmerman is closed today (Tuesday), due to the partial Federal Government shutdown.
Depending on how long the shutdown lasts, it could impact one of their biggest events of the year.
Their 20th annual Fall Wildlife Festival is scheduled for this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. According to their Facebook page, if the shutdown is still in place at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday), the festival will be cancelled.
