Why did you join FBZS?: I was invited to attend a board meeting where I was asked to join. The energy and excitement exhibited by those board members made me want to immediately jump in and be a part of our wonderful zoo!
What is your favorite FBZS Event? Both major fundraisers, ZooLaLa and Zoobilee are fun, fun, fun. ZooLaLa is a style show and Zoobilee is a themed celebration in anticipation of the new year at the zoo. Because they both are so unique, I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite!
What is your favorite thing about the Frank Buck Zoo?: The cheetahs, giraffes, prairie dogs, oh my… ALL of the animals and our brilliant staff who work with their love of these animals showing in everything they do!
