A local zoo has a spooky celebration this weekend as a part of their busy fall schedule. 

Jay Pratte, Executive Director of Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, explains that they have recurring events like education sessions and yoga classes for people to enjoy, but they also have bigger events coming up, like Hallaballoo at the Zoo this weekend. 

Pratte says he's been very pleased with the turnout of the events they've hosted so far this fall. They've been so popular that they often have to move them into larger spaces.

Pratte attributes the success of these events to the connection Bloomington-Normal residents have to the zoo and its residents. He says they try to have something for everybody. 

The Zoo has seen a slow and steady growth of its usual attendance of 100,000 guests per season. Pratte notes although the weather may not always hold up, they have plenty of indoor options for the die-hard zoo goers.
