The Othello Sandhill Crane Festival is a true community event.  It was initiated by the Greater Othello Chamber of Commerce and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge in 1998. Since its beginning, the Festival has been financially supported by the City of Othello through tourism development funds (hotel/motel taxes) and logistically supported by Othello Community Schools, reimbursed by Festival registration fees.  The Grant County Conservation District provides additional financial support and administrative staffing.

We are very grateful for our local partners, without their generous support the Festival would not be possible.
