Hoot and Howl 2013

This is a fundraising benefit unlike any other. A secret back entrance to Happy Hollow through Danny's cave, 3 signature cocktails, private access to the park playgrounds after hours, 7 foodie stations by PSRT, up close animal encounters, complimentary photo booth by The Laugh Box, dancing, bathtub racers, Happy Hollow Lounge, and a sake bar from Yuki Sushi at the top of the Redwood Lookout. Danny the Dragon and the rollercoaster will be open. All your favorites from last year, plus some new surprises. Leave the kids at home, and party with the animals after dark. Parking in the adjacent Zoo lot is included with ticket purchase. Attending this event supports The Happy Hollow Foundation which in turn supports all areas of the Happy Hollow Park & Zoo growth, including arts, education, exhibit renovation and conservation. This year, we have an incredible opportunity to be a part of adding to a critically endangered species. Sophia, our Jaguar, has been selected for breeding. We need to build out a bachelor pad for her potential mate, as well as purchase technology upgrades to assist with the special husbandry that goes with monitoring and caring for large cat introduction and breeding. (see more information on Sophia here: http://www.hhpz.org/index.cfm/id/278) Proceeds from the Hoot & Howl benefit many program areas of the Park & Zoo, but we will be highlighting Species Survival Program at this year's event.

Playground chic! Black tie encouraged, but be ready to play. Heels and restrictive clothing make it hard to get to the top of the Redwood Lookout and slide down the slide so dress for stylish movement, dancing and fun!
