OREGON ZOO EVENTS:

ELEPHANTLANDS VIP OPENING 2015

VENUE: Oregon Zoo | GUESTS: 350

The chilly weather did not hamper the elephants reveling in their new habitat or dampen the spirited celebration of the assembled guests. Light refreshments and a heated canopy made for a comfortable program and honored guests received small silver elephant talismans as reminders of the gift they had provided to the resident herd.
