Last year Boo at the Zoo had a RECORD YEAR! Thanks for supporting our zoo!!  
Here's what the Zoo posted on social media:

"πŸŽƒ THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 25th annual Boo at the Zoo! Your participation, energy, and enthusiasm made this milestone event truly special. WOW!!! This year there was 16650 visitors, breaking our previous record for Boo at the Zoo! This is truly amazing because all the Friends of the Zoo's events are fundraisers. Therefore, by participating you are helping the animals directly! πŸ’—
πŸ‘» A big shoutout to all who took part in our endangered species scavenger hunt—we hope you learnt how you can help the animals and felt inspired to do so. We’re thrilled to announce Meredith K. as our winner! Congrats!
πŸ’• We couldn’t bring these fundraising events to life without the incredible support from our dedicated Magnetic Hill Zoo staff, Friends of the Zoo volunteers, Oulton College volunteers, Co-Operators volunteers and our sponsor Superstore Main Street! The full 4 day event took over 264 hours for the set-up, and over 924 hours of volunteering during the actual event!!! Your hard work and commitment make a world of difference!
Thank you for making Boo at the Zoo unforgettable! 🧑
