The zoo has offered 4 tickets for anyone participating in costume that day as well. Just let me know the names, and they will have the tickets for you that day. Your family can use them that day, or all return together later. They are valid through next March.

See update from the zoo.

Thank you all so much for coming out this upcoming Saturday for Star Wars Day! We are getting excited here and looking forward to seeing you all again. Please share this information with all the other storm troopers so they can safely travel to this galaxy.

As of now- we will be in Nature Play during the event. I have reserved the Foundation (the bottom floor of the Log Cabin) for you all to serve as the changing/dressing/break room. It is right by Nature Play, and will have iced water and a cooler for you all. If you need to take a break for a while at any time during the event, please feel free to escape back there, and if you need an escort let me know.

Please arrive around 9:30 am through the main front gate. I will have Walk Gate 1 by the Rangers station unlocked/me close to it to let you all in. You should be able to easily roll your trunks to the Foundation, but I will have a golf cart down there just in case. My cell phone is 901-216-5851, feel free to give me a call if you are running late, need assistance, etc.

IN THE EVENT OF RAIN- we will be in the Kid's Cove Tent, where Star Wars Holiday was this past December. We will proceed to get you all in like we did in December, through that Gate 8 in the lower parking lot. As of now- it is 40% chance of rain that morning, with sun in the afternoon. I will make the call Friday morning on whether to move locations and will let you all know. If you do not hear from me by 4pm on Friday afternoon, just assume we are all set for good-weather plan. Fingers crossed!!

I will have your 4 general admission zoo tickets with me the day of the event- so make sure to get them before you leave. They are good until March 18, 2018, so you have a whole year to return back and see us!

Once again- thank you all so so much. We couldn't do these events with you! Fingers crossed there's no rain that morning!

Thank you all so much and may the force be with you,

Sallie

We are set to go in Nature Play tomorrow- looks like its going to clear off right around 8 AM tomorrow morning, just in time for our event!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns- otherwise I will see you all at around 9:30 tomorrow morning!
