On a normal Tuesday evening, August 16th to be exact, the Musical Petting Zoo debuted at the Cotswold Chik-Fil-A at the corner of Randolph Road and Sharon Amity. Four stalwart members of the Guild and Master Zookeeper Julia Church entertained 75 children (and even the Chik-Fil-A cow) with hands-on playing of the instruments.
Next on the MPZ agenda will be at Imaginon on Saturday, Sep 17, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, and Saturday, Sep 24, from 10:00 am to 11:00 at the first Lollipops Concert of the season - "The Story of Babar" - at the Blumenthal PAC.
