Great Apes, Great Wines, Great Times – March 3
You can find great wines in many parts of the world. In a select number of places you can also find great apes (and primates). Pair them and you get the Zoological Society of Milwaukee’s Wines and Beers of the World fundraiser on March 3, 2016. This is the only spirits-and-primates event in the Milwaukee area. Guests can sample wines, beers and savory foods and stroll through the Stearns Family Apes of Africa & Primates of the World buildings. Register now for this evening event – it sells out quickly. You must be at least 21 years old to attend. To register and for a list of vendors, go to zoosociety.org/Wine or call 414-258-2333. Proceeds go to benefit the Zoological Society’s Annual Appeal to give the Colobus monkeys an access corridor to the outdoor exhibit.
