A New Zoo...in Belvidere?
There is a new zoo opening up in Belvidere. It is called the Summerfield Farm and Zoo and it is opening its doors for the first time on Saturday. To summarize the article...A family who was raising exotics and Arabian Horses for shows has decided to open their "zoo" for the public. The cost is $8 for adults; $5 for children and the proceeds will directly benefit the animals $70,000 annual food cost. The hours are 10am to 5pm. For more information go to www.summerfieldfarminc.com or 815-547-4852
On a side note..for those who know me...I LOVE zoos! There is something special to me about smaller less commercialized zoos. Perhaps the atmosphere of something unique is intriguing to me. In fact before dh and I had kiddo's we would frequent the FREE Racine Zoo which if you have never been is worth the drive! I know this isn't a free zoo but now a days...with the price of gas...it excites me to see that there just might be an alternative to Milwaukee or Chicago! So...if anyone is interested in coming along we just might be headed out to check this zoo out soon!
