Boo at the Zoo is this Saturday, 1-6! the weather is going to be 59 degress and partly cloudy.....perfect :)

Here is a link the the Director of the zoo sent me about ways to "Go Green" for Halloween. My fav is #2 Make Your Own Mask. I had no idea you could make your own face paint!

We just want to say thank you to Vann's for giving back to the community and supporting ZooMontana through their own version of an economic stimulus package.

Bringing us to our 2nd round of thank you's......Thank you to Jonathan Coollins and Frank Clouse for choosing ZooMontana as the reciepient of your donation! We really appreciate it and your money will go towards the growth and maitenance of ZooMontana!


Thank You!

Yesterday I was looking up ideas for decoration for our event coming up, Boo at the Zoo, and came across this little project . I'm a bit of a DIY nut so I'm excited to try this one out. The directions call for dying the pantyhose, but is it sad I already have some orange ones......?

So I just got the link to the site of the estate sale from the post below....click here , to check it out!

Dance into the autumn season with Zumba! Saturday, October 17th at 10:00AM we will be hosting a Zumba dance class out on the Plaza! The cost is $15.00 and all of the proceedds will go to support the zoo! Here is a little more info..."ZUMBA combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow you to dance away your worries. Based on the principle that a workout should be fun and easy to do, ZUMBA is great for the body, and great for the mind.
ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music/dance themes creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. ZUMBA utilizes the principals of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning.
