What a way to say goodbye to summer! 🍷🐾

It’s the first day of fall, and we’re still feeling the excitement from Saturday’s first annual Uncorked & Untamed W**e Festival. The rain gave us a break, the Zoo was full of people ready to have a great time, and every guest made this first year feel special. You were all VIPs to us! ❤️

To everyone who bought a ticket and came out to support the Michigan City Zoological Society, thank you. Seeing you enjoy an evening at Washington Park Zoo while supporting the animals who call it home meant so much to us. We were especially glad to welcome Mayor Angie and other city officials who came to show their support.

Our first w**e fest wouldn’t have been the same without the incredible local businesses who joined us: Misbeehavin' Meads, Four Corners W**ery, Shady Creek W**ery, Brix Tasting Room, Trip Fermentations, and Running Vines W**ery. Thank you for taking a chance on a brand-new event with us! Cheers to our sponsor, Centier Bank, for helping make it possible, to Indiana Deli & Catering for those deliciously cute charcuterie boxes, and to local DJ Ben for keeping the evening moving, and Stop Zero Beach Cantina for keeping the celebration going with the official after-party! 🎶

And to the Zoo staff, Parks & Recreation Department, volunteers, and MC Zoo Society board: we saw how much work you poured into this event. Thank you for showing up, pitching in, and helping bring our first Uncorked & Untamed to life.

We’re so grateful for this community. What a night! 🦦🥳
