The last Friday evening in July the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium holds their annual Summer Safari event. It's an over 21 event with live entertainment, beverage stations, and specialty dishes from lots of restaurants from all over the Pittsburgh area (including Capital Grille, Ibiza, Joe's Crab Shack, Six Penn Kitchen, etc). All the animals are out on exhibit for this event and it's a really good time (rain or shine). Every year since I've been with the zoo it has been my job to create all the print materials and signage. This year the committee chose Amur Leopards as the theme, fun right?
"Get Spotted" at the Pittsburgh Zoo, July 29, 2011
Regular tickets are $80 per person and includes vouchers for drinks and all your food. VIP tickets are $125, visit the website for more info. All proceeds go towards the Pittsburgh Zoo and their conservation efforts. Tickets go on sale June 13. Appropriate dress for this event is "fashionable and stylish with comfortable shoes" - basically no jeans since it is essentially a large scale cocktail/dinner party.
