Carol and I quickly set up our display items and put out our information fliers.
The Zoo was already busy, and people were browsing our tables, and we answered their questions.
The kids especially enjoyed the rocks and fossils on display.
The UALR club brought a face painting kit and kid dig. They also had several beautiful gem stones for their raffle and rock candy to sell.
The steady stream of youngsters kept them busy painting faces, and I think they enjoyed it as much as the kids.
A little later Jim Schenebeck arrived, and in the afternoon Tom Sharp and Amy Robinson the geology professor from the UALR also
showed up.

Earth Days at the Zoo was a special event.
Friday morning Ann and Mike Austin were waiting for us, and had already set up some items for display.
The Zoo was busy in the early morning and the rain did not seem to discourage too many people, but it became cold and most people
left, so around noon, we did too.
Saturday turned out to be a beautiful warm and sunny day.
Erin and Mike from the UALR Geology Club were already setting us when we arrived and George Gray Major one of our mambers was there too.

Carol and I had brought our Genie to demonstrate cabbing, but our tables were too far from the electrical supply. Later we decided to move the Genie to a picnic table where our extension cord could reach.
It was set up about 25 feet from our booth, but
many interested people stopped by to see what we were doing.
The time passed quickly.
It was a very rewarding experience and we all agreed to do it again next year.
