Hi, I'm Kyle Shepherd with the Louisville Zoo, and we're here at uh Boo at the Zoo, one of our favorite times of year during Halloween. It's our 45th anniversary for Boo at the Zoo presented by Meyer. Tonight is Wednesday night. We're here with uh a special group from our partner Kozair for Kids. I'm gonna bring Stephanie Smith in. She's the event manager, event VP at Kozair for Kids. What is so special about this particular party? We have been lucky enough to partner with the Louisville Zoo for over 20 years for this event. We close down the zoo on a Wednesday night, and we allow our kids that we serve to come in and just take the zoo at their own pace. It can get really crowded on a normal night, and some of our kiddos need a little extra time, a little less uh sensory overload, and you all make that possible for them. And this is a pretty special year. You've been doing this for over 20 years, so obviously there's something special about it. Uh and how many guests are we expecting tonight? So we try to limit the guest number. We've got 2,500 tickets out tonight, and we expect a pretty big crowd with weather like this. It's absolutely gorgeous, and our families look forward to this every single year. So this is over 22 22 years, I believe. Do you get a lot of feedback from families on how special this party is? Oh yeah, they start emailing me in like August to get their tickets and make sure that they're on the list. Because a lot of these kiddos can't handle long lines or crowds or you know, they they might be in a wheelchair or have um something that assists them with their walking, and so coming in and taking it slow, it allows them to really experience this time of year and enjoy the zoo. I've heard you guys often refer to it as it's one of those one of those nights where the kids just get to be kids. Exactly. It is exactly that. Um we offer these tickets to our financial assistance families, and then we also partner with over a hundred organizations across the state of Kentucky. So people are coming from as far as bowling green to be here tonight. We've got Ask Out in Paducah. Um so we're excited that they they want to be a part of this as much as we want them to be here. And we love having you guys here. You guys have been great partners for these last 22 years. So welcome back and thanks for thanks for uh coming in tonight and and all that good stuff. Fun to dress up and be with the kids. I get to just be a kid tonight too. And what are you wearing tonight? Today I'm just a girl scout, you know. No no cookies though. She didn't bring me thin mint somehow. Luckily they're handing out candy inside. So excellent.
