The Power of Language and Unity:
🌍 Why Bilingual? The Monarch butterfly transcends borders, existing across three nations – Mexico, the United States, and some species in Canada. Embracing both English and Spanish languages at our festival is a testament to our awareness and the truth that we must work together to save this species. We are one world, and we need to collaborate across borders.
🦋 Seasonal Immigrant to Minnesota: The Monarch butterfly is a seasonal immigrant to Minnesota, symbolizing the importance of global cooperation in preserving our shared environment.
