A growing favorite for a Normal entity is this weekend. 

Jay Pratte, Executive Director of the Miller Park Zoo, says 'Brews at the Zoo' is this Saturday and is one of its three major fundraisers. 

The entire zoo is open during the event, giving guests and vendors plenty of room to spread out and explore all the facilities have to offer. Pratte highlights some of the new attractions, like the four new alpacas, which visitors will be able to see. 

While Brews at the Zoo does not typically feature fundraising efforts like a silent auction, Pratte mentions that vendors may be hosting raffles or other contests, which you will only be able to find out about if you attend the event. 

While the number of tickets being sold has increased this year from 750 to 1,000, Pratte encourages people interested to get their tickets before they sell out. Find more information and get your tickets at mpzs.org.
