SafeKids Day at the Oregon Zoo


On May 2, 2009 Earl, Tim (both pictured here) and I participated in the annual SafeKids Day at the Oregon Zoo. I took some video at the event and posted a video on fitting life jackets to kids on the D13 Blog .

Yesterday I got the final zoo event numbers from our SafeKids partners:

  • Zoo Attendance: 9,984 (up from 9368 last year)
  • Safety Professionals and volunteers: 250 (up from 156) -- way to go!
  • Due to the generous contributions of our Safe Kids partners, thousands of prizes were distributed.
I estimate we saw over 3,000 kids and parents at the booth and fitted many of the kids for life jackets.

Bravo Zulu Tim & Earl!
