Tonight Kelly treated us to one of her favorite events – Oakland Zoo’s fabulous Walk in the Wild. The adults-only fund-raiser features tons of food and wine, loads of animals, live music, the occasional Elvis sighting and no children. Wow. Is there a better time to be had at the zoo? I don’t think so.

This year’s Walk in the Wild was the best yet. The weather was absolutely perfect. The recently completed Children’s Zoo added a huge amount of real estate to the venue, so even though the event was very well attended, it never felt crowded as it has in previous years. There were 70 restaurants and wineries at the event – more than ever before. Everyone from Aidell’s to Zza’s was there helping to suppport one of the nation’s best zoos.

The Walk in the Wild truly is a wonderful event. We hope to see you all there next year!
