Doing Zoo Boo Again this year at Como Zoo!
12 years ago
This is a coyote... I'm making a note here HUGE SUCCESS.
It seems like every year I do this. Is it been oh dear god years.... I don't remember when I first set up Zoo Boo.
For those people who don't know what I am talking about I volunteer original for myself then for MNFurs for Como Zoo Boo.
Why I started this personal tradition was I wanted to well suit during halloween and well a dream of mine is to just suit in the Zoo to help out. When I found out that MN Zoo was very stricted about suiting policies and costumes I was a little disappointed. Then I found out that Como Zoo did this volunteer fundraising event and well I tried it... It was fun. I can't say how many times I came home smiling because I put a smile on a friend, a neighbor, and a stranger's face.
To me that's what I care the most in suiting.
It's not about how many pictures I was in, if I was in a video, but did I make someone laugh or smile. Thats really what I care the most about.
For our local group I originally help get it going but I realize that I didn't have the time to keep it going. So it's been handed off but I still do it.
If you are curious about it there is a thread on MNFurs site http://www.mnfurs.org/forums/events.....-at-como-park/ about it.

There aren't any big zoos in my locale, and maybe 20 furries in a 50-mile radius. Maybe 5-6 have fursuits. One of the big metropolitan Zoos where a furmeet was held also had a policy against costumes as they may upset the animals.

Once I get my fursuit completed, I might consider participating in the Zoo Boo, maybe next year.

It's fun it's some work. But overall fun.
