Plans for Easter weekend

Lots of people have been asking about our plans for Easter weekend.  We've been reluctant to answer because we weren't sure if we would be in the hospital having a baby or not.  At this time, it's looking as though that will not be the case, so we have finally made plans so you can make yours!

Join us on Good Friday, April 18, from 10am to 4pm and Saturday, April 19, from 1pm to 5pm to feed and love on the animals.  (We will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 20.)
When you come out during these open days, each child can choose an egg from the basket before they leave.  It may be filled with candy.  It may be filled with a prize like a free pass on your next visit to The Menagerie!

And don't forget that if you're in Alva on Saturday morning, we contributed filled eggs to the Chamber of Commerce Egg Throw to be held after the Easter egg hunt on the square.  The Egg Throw will happen between rounds of the Egg Drop.  Lots of businesses who are members of the Chamber contributed to these filled eggs, so there will be lots of goodies for kids and adults!  As a reminder, we will be opening at 1pm that Saturday so we can participate in all of the fun downtown!

Open for 2014!

The last couple of weeks, we've been working hard to ready ourselves for the re-opening of The Menagerie. We had lots of projects that we wanted to finish before visitors walked through the doors, and for the most part, we accomplished the list.

Probably the biggest task on the list was getting the antique boxcar that was moved to our property last fall ready to be our gift shop. New electrical wiring, a skirting around the outside, revamped flooring, lighting, and some coats of paint in a few places were a must. Thanks to a couple of local businesses (Northwest Electric and R&R Systems) and the handyman that Jerad is along with a few other able bodies (Braylon, Brickman, and Tyler), it was presentable by opening day.

Braylon is always a great help when it comes to building projects. Give him a drill, and he knows what to do. He was great help at getting the deck built, among many other things.

Brickman is great at the smaller projects like getting the rabbit cage set up so we could bring down the mama rabbit with her babies.

And, of course, sometimes we have to take a break to test out the games. Joplin came over to help the boys with Chuck the Cluck, roping steer heads, and sliding down the slides.

Thanks to everyone who came out during our opening week of 2014! If you didn't come out this last week, you'll want to make sure to catch us on the weekends so you can see all of our changes.

The gift shop is available to purchase t-shirts and little trinkets.

We're open Saturdays from 10am to 4pm and Sundays from 2pm to 5pm. Once summer arrives, we'll expand our open days.

    Each day as we wake up here at The Menagerie, we never know what we're going to step in...literally and figuratively!  Each day is a new day, and we try to make the best of it.  Follow along!
