Happy 4th!

by

Volunteers Patti, Lynn, and Andrew put together a great feast for the chimps’ 4th of July celebration. It all started with a lunch forage on the hill. Then for dinner, they had corn, potato salad, watermelon, and Field Roast veggie dogs in the greenhouse. Throw in a couple of pinatas and some inappropriately dressed troll dolls and you’ve got a real 4th of July party! You should have heard the food squeaking and screaming as we were setting up the forage in the greenhouse.

Thank you, Virginia!

Today’s 4th of July day of sanctuary was sponsored by the chimpanzees’ good friend, Virginia Keulen! (You may have noticed that Virginia also generously sponsored yesterday in celebration of her birthday!)

Freedom and independence represent many things to many people. Virginia, thank you so much for sponsoring today for the chimpanzees so that they may continue to define and experience what these things mean to them.

The chimpanzees have the best friends and we are profoundly grateful for all of our supporters and everything each of you do to make the chimpanzees’ lives better. Happy 4th of July everyone! And be sure to check out the chimps’ celebration later today!
