Continuing our tradition of all the facts in less time, we’re taking a look at Chahinkapa Zoo’s 21st Annual Wild Game Shows. We’re aided by Zoo Director Kathy Diekman.
Dear Friend of the Chahinkapa Zoo,
Weâre nearing the end of 2020. Many people would gladly wish the year farewell, as it brought much fear, loneliness and the unknown.
A year ago, I didnât fully understand what a âpandemicâ could entail. I am still learning and navigate each new day by mandates, statistics and projections as they come my way. Our zoo team found much encouragement from the many visitors this summer.
In fact, attendance was up in every demographic, including an increase in senior visitation. I find this a sign that people felt safe in the outdoors and in our little niche on the North DakotaâMinnesota border. There were numerous first-time visitors who then returned for future ventures.
