"Yabba Dabba Zoo" coming this weekend

     In a town that adores its dinosaurs of course, their Fall Festival theme for the Bed Race and Parade is "Welcome to Bedrock." So the Grand Valley Zoological Quest decorates its bed race/float with a big paper mache head of a "Parrosauris" (pictures coming next week), and a banner proclaiming "Yabba Dabba Zoo."
     Get it? It is a play on Fred Flintstones' famous saying, "Yabba Dabba Doooooo."
     Two local Girl Scout Troops will be marching along side the float, carrying smaller papermache parrot images proclaiming "We want a Zoo. Don't you?"
    The whole Zoo Crew has gotten into the creative mode for this BIG fundraiser on Sept. 29th.
     We are going to have a petting zoo booth; for $5 donation any one can touch a snake or an exotic bird or reptiles.
     Other zoo items will be for sale--trinkets, tee-shirts, zoo-things, and lots of info about how you can join the Zoo Quest.
      Don't forget we will announce Shelledy winners in the "Wild About Reading" program.
     I'll have pictures after next Saturday. Don't forget to "like" us on FaceBook.
