Santa Ana : Zoo Fest to Help Pay for Monkey Exhibit
Natives of the Aberdare Mountains in Kenya will relocate to Santa Ana under a plan to construct a “Monkey Island†exhibit at the Santa Ana Zoo.
To help pay for the primate project, the zoo is selling tickets for a Zoo Fest ‘85, a night of entertainment and dinner scheduled for Sept. 21 at 4 p.m. Tickets are priced at $7 for adults and $3 for children under 13. The event will include free admission to the zoo, a chili dinner and a raffle.
The exhibit, which will be located near the zoo entrance and is at least a year from construction, will feature such tenants as black and white colobus monkeys and duikers, small African antelopes.
Checks may be mailed to 1801 E. Chestnut Ave., Santa Ana, Calif. 92701.
