Wild Night for Wildlife
The Friends of Stark Parks invites you to the fourth annual Wild Night for Wildlife: Summer Solstice Celebration on June 21, 2018! Kick off the season of sunshine with dinner, drinks, live animals, and stunning views of Sippo Lake on the back patio of the Exploration Gateway.
Cocktail hour begins at 5:30 with dinner at 6:30 p.m. The evening will benefit the continued care of wildlife at the Joseph J. and Helen M. Sommer Wildlife Conservation Center.
The event is Sold Out, we hope to see you at future events and encourage you to make a donation to Friends of Stark Parks.
