The Scovill Zoo's annual Zoorific Evening gala will return on Saturday, September 16.
Scovill Zoo Executive Director Ken Frye told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Friday, that the gala will serve as the kickoff for a fundraising campaign for a new alligator exhibit.
Frye says the event is an adult-only night and guests can expect a dinner along with animal encounters. Guests can expect to see camels, penguins, cheetahs, pelicans, wolves, and more.
The exhibit the alligators are currently featured in was retrofitted to add the alligators. Frye explains they want to be able to build a new exhibit that is designed for alligators. He notes it will contain a building that the alligators will be in during cold weather and will allow patrons to still be able to see them.
Again, the Zoorific Evening gala will be held on Saturday, September 16, at the Scovill Zoo in Decatur beginning at 5 pm. Tickets are $100 per person. To purchase tickets call (27) 422-5911 or visit decatur-parks.org/scovill-zoo/zoorific-evening-at-scovill-zoo.
