Second Annual Mississippi Anthro Picnic
DATE: Sunday, July 20, 2008
PLACE: Hattiesburg Zoo & Kamper Park at the Pavillion
107 South 17th Avenue, Hattiesburg, MS, 39401 USA
WHEN: From 12:00 PM until sunset
LUNCH: 1:00 PM

To obtain directions to this event, go to Google Maps or MapQuest and type in the intersection "South Park Avenue & Hardy Street, Hattiesburg, MS 39401" rather than the address above. Both are viable and supply ample parking at either locations. However, the intersection search will make it easier to access the parking lot right in front of the Pavillion. If needed, feel free to email me: jarekojosh@gmail.com

As much as we regret it, we were unable to make this event free. There will be a $5.00 USD minimum donation per person for admission. In exchange, you get lots of food, tons of fun, and a custom-made badge. Each attendee can submit a picture for your badge. If not, a MAP! 2008 Mappi badge will be issued. There is limited wireless internet service available under the Pavillion but we would advise leaving most electronics behind for this event. We will be outdoors at all times, so there won't be an area to store personal, expensive items. This PG-rated event is family-orientated and open to all ages. There will be no offensive language, alcohol, tobacco, or any drug-related substances of any kind allowed at this event. These policies will be enforced.

Kamper Park is open to the public with no specific hours of operation (there is a curfew after dark); however, it is known that the local police patrol this area after dark for safety's sake. We suggest that you arrive to the picnic early to be able to vist the Zoo and the animals hosted.

The Hattiesburg Zoo hours of operation on Sunday, July 20, 2008 are as follows:

10:00 AM until 4:00 PM - Admission to the Zoo is $2.00

The Train & Carousel runs from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM - Tickets are $1.25

Currently, there are no guests of honor or pre-planned activities, so this means we can all have a relaxed, lazy Sunday afternoon and just enjoy the weather (may sunshine prevail) and each other's company. Any and all are welcome. If anyone wants to bring anything bigger to the event, please let us know and we're sure it'll be a hit.

The menu is as follows (vegan variety will be available):

· Hamburgers & hotdogs with all the fixin's
· Green salad
· Corn on the cob
· Potato chips
· Pickles
· Watermelon
· Iced tea and lemonade
· And, of course, cupcakes

Many thanks to you all for your time and consideration. Any questions, comments, suggestions, or complaints, feel free to private message me any time.
