Despite the weather conditions, this fund-raising event was still a success. The environment the zoo provides was obviously a key to the overall atmosphere when planning this event. Due to wet-weather, Director, Marcy Dean made the call to move the party to an available and dry location. So it was, the Zoo to Do was held at The Matterhorn in Elkhart. Guests were welcomed into the jungle with tiki torches and an animal paw-print path.
Proving our adaptability, we were able to pull it off last minute in a alternate location. Overall, I still think it looked great!
Included in the decor were signature drinks to reflect the theme. The Funky Monkey with a garnish taken from "barrel of monkeys" game; The Leopard Martini, complete with leopard spots; and The Camel Hump were among the featured cocktails.
Kurt, from The Matterhorn provided the catering and offered great ideas to theme the food. Easy to work with and open to outrageous ideas, he was willing to transform his wait staff into jungle animals by using face paint.
From start to finish, this event carried the Walk on the Wild Side theme. It was an enjoyable event to be part of.
