Clean Up Crew

It’s been years in the making, but I do think The Alaska Zoo is actually going to have their Grand Opening for the new Gateway Building! It is scheduled to be held on Saturday, October 18 from 12:00 to 4:00.

Come join us and see what the fuss is all about!

I spent a few hours today helping to clean it up. If any of you out there have ever been on a construction site, you’ll know just how messy they can be. Not only is trash thrown about everywhere, from empty coffee cups to plastic bags that used to hold earplugs, but there's nails and bits of metal strewn everywhere; plus all the garbage that comes from the new appliances and whatnot.

So, us volunteers spent the day cleaning. We took a huge load of cardboard over to the recycling center. We washed all the windows that we could reach. We vacuumed the carpets upstairs. We rearranged furniture downstairs so the work crew could install the wall base. We even tidied up the admissions booth.

Things are looking good!
