Thank you to everyone who attended the Beastly Brunch on February 28, 2010

Approximately 150 young urban professionals enjoyed a sun-filled day as they explored the Houston Zoo.  Guests ate brunch and then went on to watch piranhas and orangutans eat their lunch during special presentations. 

To end the day, two lucky Flock members were chosen to participate in a tiger feeding with Pandu, one of the Zoo’s handsome Malayan tigers.  Kent Oliver and Jesse Bounds fed Pandu meat from the end of a stick and squirted goat’s milk into his mouth! 

The young urbanites had such a great time that after the event was over, they didn’t leave!  Many stayed and explored the rest of the Zoo – including rides on the carousel and trips to the petting zoo.

Flock members and their guests enjoyed brunch from Amazon Grill, cocktails from Ty Ku and Maker’s Mark, and the crowd-moving beats of DJ Dave Wrangler.  It was certainly a Sunday Fun-day at the Zoo!
