A Table for A Wild Affair

Here we are, the vice and pres of the local chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, sitting at our table in front of the baby reindeer. A Wild Affair is a restaurant tasting event that is held at Stone Zoo every June. I liked the buffalo chicken mac and cheese the best, but the chicken pot pie cup was pretty delish. We were there to tell the guests about Bowling for Rhinos, happening only 11 months from now.

This moment made me smile, as two of the special event coordinators received phone calls at the same time, each helping to put out different fires.

Here's a more complete view of the table and the reindeer.

My favorite moment of the night is when the zookeepers came out with the baaaaaby alligators!

This captures the density of the entertainment experience--hearing Andrew Geano play music, getting to see a baby alligator, all while eating some gourmet pizza.
