Award winning film - Return of the Prairie Bandit, Produced and Directed by former Yorkton resident Kenton Vaughan - will be highlights at the upcoming Harvest Showdown event.
The Yorkton Film Festival in partnership with the Yorkton Exhibition Association will screen the short film during Grainmillers Harvest Showdown.
Return of the Prairie Bandit synopsis:
Their habitat once stretched across the Prairies but when humans decimated the one thing they eat, the black-footed ferret disappeared.
The only native North American ferret, this mysterious animal became the most endangered species in the world. For many years, they survived only in zoos. Now a fledgling project is attempting to bring the black-footed ferret back to Saskatchewan.
This dramatic story of the ferrets' reintroduction to the wild unfolds in Return of the Prairie Bandit.
Return of the Prairie Bandit was the winner of the 2011 Golden Sheaf Award in the Documentary Nature and Environmental category.
The upcoming screening takes place Thursday, November 4 at 2:00 and 7:00 p.m. in the Ravine Room at the Yorkton Gallagher Centre. Admission is free.
