Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th is Zoo Weekend.
I can't wait for Monday! I need to get a my massage scheduled.
I cleaned out my last big display this past Friday. I hauled out 6 1/2 barrels of old pinebark and soil. Each barrel is 55 gallons. You do the math. Added new substrate and rearranged the branches. The Yellow Monitors and the Blood Python are happy. I guess. I mean they don't really smile or talk or anything.
All the moats and pools have been cleaned, all the displays have new substrate, everything has been repainted/repaired, and now all we have to do this week is keep everything fresh looking. Grass cut, leaves raked, etc.
Earth Day Safari is hosted by our Education department. It is a two day event designed with school groups in mind, but it's great for families as well. It is a fun and educational field trip. There is an Endangered Species Scavenger Hunt, Earth Day Trivia Game, and live animal presentations.
This weekend is the 34th Annual Zoo Weekend. This is our BIG fundraising event. Past Zoo Weekends have paid for new or renovated animal exhibits. There will be live music, tons of games, local food vendors, petting zoo, pony rides, rock wall, and a lot more.
As much as preparing for Zoo Weekend drives me (and my chiropractor) crazy, it is well worth it! It's great for the Zoo, great for the community, and I know at least my family loves it.
