Music, food, and various forms of entertainment will help a local zoo continue to improve their mission.
The Scovill Zoo in Decatur is hosting their annual gala later this month and Director Ken Frye indicates the theme is 'Key West'. They will have live entertainment, cold adult beverages and different entertainment like you find in Key West.
The Scovill Zoo's recent penguin exhibit was the result of past successful gala's and Frye indicates they do have their sites set on a new exhibit if they can continue to get the great support they've received in the past.
According to Fye, the gala allows guests to tour the zoo in a setting they may not otherwise get to. He's says it's a casual event with food and drinks and entertainment, but the uniqueness of it comes with various animal encounters.
The Zoorific Gala is Saturday, August 27 at 5 pm.
