“The selection of items to choose from is impressive” said zoo director Lee Jackson. “This auction has something for everyone. We have wonderful products from some of our incredibly generous local vendors, as well as trips, sports memorabilia, electronics, fun experiences, and tons of great animal-themed baskets and gifts!” And all of it just in time for Holiday shopping.

“The Auction ends soon, so we encourage everyone to view the auction and sign up at auctions.networkforgood.com/auction_item_list.php?auction_id=1954.
