Each fall, a local zoo hosts one of its biggest fundraisers of the year, an adults-only evening. 

Heather Perdeu, Director of the Scovill Zoo in Decatur, explains that the Zoorific Evening takes place on September 20th and begins at 5:00 PM. The $100 ticket price includes some free beverages, dinner, and animal encounters that are exclusive to this event. She notes that Zoorific is their biggest fundraiser of the year, so it's a great way to come out and support the organization. 

Funds from this year's Zoorific Evening will go towards the construction of the new alligator exhibit, a project the zoo has had in mind for some time. Perdeu adds that they will soon be meeting with architects to discuss the plans. 

Zoorific is on September 20th at 5:00 PM at the Scovill Zoo in Decatur. Learn more and purchase tickets while they are still available at decatur-parks.org/scovill-zoo.
