Are you ready??!! Tomorrow is the big celebration – The Queen’s Brunch virtual event for the humans, and the celebration of Negra’s honorary 48th birthday plus the anniversary of the start of a new life for Negra, Burrito, Jamie, Jody, Annie, Missy, and Foxie.
It’s really difficult to believe that it has been 13 years since the trailer pulled up in the driveway and we welcomed the Cle Elum Seven to their sanctuary home.
And it’s even more difficult to believe that we will be doing the same thing in just a couple of weeks for six more chimpanzees!
I hope you can join us and watch the rest of this video:
And help us welcome the Lucky Six to their new home by sponsoring their journey and bidding on auction items!
You will be able to watch the virtual event on both Facebook and YouTube at 11am Pacific Time, and you can join us live from the chimp house for the After Brunch Party by getting your “ticket” in advance on the online auction site.
I owe Anthony. He came for a visit today on his day off and graciously allowed me to use the photos below that he took while the seven were enjoying their favorite space – the original greenhouse.
It won’t be long before we’ll be sharing photos of new chimpanzees in new greenhouses!!




Great pic’s today.
I’m getting excited for the Queen’s Brunch tomorrow, got my Royal Tea box in the mail, So I’m all set.
Let the party begin ! 🙂
with the additional activity of all the workers, the chimps must recognize that something is going on and they aren’t in on it…!! but wait until tomorrow..!!!!!
My goodness, Anthony! That is some shot of Bubba and Jo! Outstanding clarity!
I got my box today, right under the wire! Looking forward to tomorrow!
I am ready! And looking forward to tomorrow. It must be quite a moment for you Diana and J.B. To look back on the past 13 years must bring you great joy and pride. Did you ever imagine you’d come to work with so many devoted people, and did you ever dream you would have 16 chimpanzees and 4 bovines in your care?! CSNW has come so far in such a short amount of time. Congratulations.
Happy birthday eve to Negra. Sweet dreams. May tomorrow be full of everything you love.
Thanks for coming in on your day off Anthony! Your photos are appreciated. And I’m glad Jamie had her on you, she knew it was your day off and clearly appreciated that chose to come anyways.
I am so looking forward to this event. Love to all my fury friends!
Happy birthday my darling Negra. A total queen through and through. I’ll be thinking of you!!
