Come to the Roosevelt Park Zoo and enjoy a taste of a few cold beers, along with some mouth-watering bacon. On Thursday, August 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the Roosevelt Park Zoo is holding its premier event of the summer, the 10th Annual Bacon and Brew at the Zoo hosted by Greater Minot Zoological Society (GMZS). The mission of this great organization is to raise funds, in which all proceeds from this event will go the GMZS general fund, to support all endeavors and needs of the Roosevelt Park Zoo, including, but not limited to, exhibits, programs, education, and conservation.
At the Bacon and Brew, Roosevelt Park Zoo has something for all the bacon lovers in Minot! Bacon and Brew at the Zoo will feature many local food vendors who will serve samples of their own special dishes inspired by bacon. Each dish will also be paired with a beer that a beer expert believes will complement the item. There will be a variety of domestic and craft beers for tasting. Beer not your drink? Wine samples will be available too. A cash bar will be available for guests also.
Bacon and Brew at the Zoo will also have a few other features to enjoy, such as axe throwing, yard games, and the giraffe feeding station. Since there will be beer and wine, the Bacon and Brew event is strictly 21+, but there is plenty of fun to be had with just the grownups around. An outdoor summer event wouldn’t be complete without some live music by Little Chicago Funk. Little Chicago Funk is a Minot band who plays funk, disco, rock, and even a little country. So, “get funk’d” while enjoying some bacon and some brew.
Guests can walk around, see all the animals, and discover the locations where the food and beer samples will be located. Don’t feel like walking? Take the train ride around the zoo and enjoy the many sights and sounds along with the delicious food and beer.
So, for a grown-up night out, go the Roosevelt Park Zoo website https://rpzoo.com/bacon-brew/ and purchase your ticket since only 750 tickets are available and they sell out fast! Last year, tickets sold out before they could be offered at the gate on the day of. Guests get everything mentioned for only $85/person, which is a fantastic deal, and it all goes to support the zoo and its many activities to preserve and to care for the animals. Enjoy some bacon and some brew at Roosevelt Park Zoo for a great cause!
