BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - November 2, 2011 - Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is not letting last weekend's freak Fall storm get in the way of celebrating Boo at the Zoo. As a treat for Connecticut residents, many of whom have been left powerless from the October snowstorm, this Saturday, November 5 Noon to 3:00 pm, the Zoo will host Boo at the Zoo - Part 2! This spooktacular afternoon will include goodies and activities for your little monsters along with harvest hayrides and seasonal enjoyments for the whole family. Once again, anyone under 12, in costume, AND are accompanied by a paying adult, gets in to the Zoo for FREE! Hayrides begin at the W.O.L.F. Cabin and are $2.00 each. Tickets may be purchased at the Zoo gift shop.

"With many communities not likely to get their electricity back until Sunday, Boo at the Zoo Part 2 gives folks something lighthearted to look forward to," explained Gregg Dancho, Zoo director. "The forecast looks great and we hope lots of families take advantage of this fun-filled day."
