I suggest you (or someone in the Bridgewater area) call the South Shore
Exhibition phone number: 902-543-3341.
Their website is: http://www.thebigex.com/Contact-Us.html
You could also email them at: bigex@ns.aliantzinc.ca and put a note on
their Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/south.exhibition
I would then contact the press: Lighthouse Now - they love stories like
this and it will make the Exhibition organizers look like heroes (if indeed
they take some action to protect the Killdeer), as well as giving publicity
to the exhibition and the birds!
This four-pronged effort should work - let us know.
