Vancouver — The 14th annual Sturgeon Festival will honor the Columbia River ecosystem and its most primitive inhabitant.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Vancouver’s Water Resources Education Center, 4600 S.E. Columbia Way.

Special events include Portland Audubon’s Birds of Prey, Creature Feature Reptile Zoo and Earth the Ecological Clown. Entries in the interactive “Scene a sturgeon lately?” photo contest must be turned into the center by Friday. (Details at www.cityofvancouver.us/watercenter.asp).

Sturgeon reach 5 to 6 feet by maturity and can live for more than 100 years. The species has not changed substantially since emerging in the Jurassic period.
