Hi-
Just wondering if you had any booths available for local non-profit organizations to table? We are an after-school program looking for volunteers to tutor our low-income students in the area.
Please let me know. Thanks!

Susan,
Yes, our friends with Zoo To You have confirmed two black sheep, a white sheep with her lamb, a calf named Jordan, a donkey named Molly and another one named Little Bit, a llama named Athena, an alpaca named Cuzzo, a handful of goats including Flower and her mother Blossom, some little chicks and the mother hen, and of course several baby bunny rabbits will all be at the Fall Festival this Saturday. We hope you can come join us!

We want to attend but we also want to avoid traffic – what is the closest/recommended Metro Stop?
Is there parking? Metro is not an option for me.
