Caravan to CARE, Sunday, February 24

Hi everyone,

Many people have wanted to go visit CARE and see all the big cats (and lemurs). How about we caravan out there on Sunday, February 24? We can meet at the Central Market parking lot (I-30 and Hulen in Fort Worth) at 9 a.m. It takes about an hour to get to Bridgeport. Once we are there, it costs about $10 per person for a two-to-three hour tour of the facility. Wear good walking shoes and comfy clothing. It’s all outside so dress appropriately.

No one age 7 and younger is allowed because the tigers see little people that age as LUNCH. Literally. The cats get real wound-up and upset if they see a little person, so bummer that your tiny little sister or brother cannot go. But if you have a sister or brother that’s, say, age 9 or 10 — then yeah. Bring them. I promise NOTHING will happen to them 🙂

After the visit we can all stop for lunch somewhere for anyone who wants to. It’s sort of fun to hash out the stories and share the pictures.

Bring a camera and a package of chicken (legs, thighs, wings — the cats are not picky). Also, some grapes for the lemurs is cool, too. They LOVE to eat them. I can’t remember the cost but for something like $50 or $60 you can do a lemur encounter. I will warn you — the lemurs may poo on you — but that’s because they feel comf0rtable with you.

Start giving me an RSVP so we can decide if we have enough people to make the trip. You can e-mail my mom at kari.kirkham@charter.net.

I hope you will go. It’s a lot of fun!

Joe
