Saturday was a wild time at the Lee Richardson Zoo. The 2022 “A Wild Affair” fundraiser held by the Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo was held for the first time in two years, since the 2019 event, on Saturday. This was the event’s 15th year. Kristi Newland, zoo director, said it’s a “wonderful event where community support shines” and they get to welcome people to the zoo on a different basis to have a good time. Jessica Norton, executive director of the Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo, said a lot of people attend the event when it’s held, a lot of returning faces, but also plenty of new ones, who this might be their first exposure to the zoo.
