World Elephant Day at the Little Rock Zoo

Arkansas and the weatherman provided a lovely resort-weather day for this event on August 12th.  The Little Rock Zoo education department and elephant barn offered crafts for the kids, promoted the 96 Elephant Campaign to help African elephants, and invited Asian Elephant Support down to talk with their visitors about our efforts helping elephants in Asian range countries.  Saint Louis Zoo docent and AES volunteer, Cynthia Christison, accompanied Linda and helped with our table of information as well as T-shirts and bumper stickers that were available for purchase.  And lovely Asian elephant Babe, who likes to paint, had 7 of her masterpieces gobbled up by her admiring public and donated the funds to help her cousins across the ocean.  Thank you Little Rock Zoo for a most enjoyable celebration of Asian elephants!
