Brew was a fiasco and hot stinky mess behind-the-scenes. Many Friends Board threatened to quit. Freddy Farm Bureau could have done a better job. Just another sign that many at the Zoo need to go.

I’m surprised to hear that it wasn’t successful…According to the zoo website, it was sold out.

I have read and reread and don’t see anywhere where anybody said it wasn’t a success.
Are you people stupid or just Debbie King acting like her corrupt husband?

No knowledge one way or the other, but being sold out doesn’t mean it was a success. You can’t be “un-sold” out if people are unhappy, after all.

brew at the zoo could have been far more sucessfull. they were forced to sell 300 fewer tickets than last year because of problems with the food vendor contracts. lots of job openings at the zoo…people quitting in droves cause of corruption and mismanagement of city funds (NDF’s)

Re probs brewing at the zoo — puts me in mind of when my cousin left their herpetology dept. – maybe in the 1990′s? – , he took all his personally owned reptiles, lizards, etc. WITH him – which decimated that dept. at the time. Don’t know why the zoo had relied so heavily on privately owned specimens…

Re bank thief and other thieves — most recently convicted UofL embezzler is now “incarcerated” in “Camp Cupcake,” per online database. Bet she’s enrolled in – or on waiting list for – program that allows inmates to train service dogs, which would allow for a type of companionship & interaction. Camp Cupcake indeed!
