The ARC is an enclosed complex
housing reptiles, amphibians
and invertebrates from all over the
world. A special attraction is a
60,000-gallon aquarium containing
sharks and fish.
The broadcast will not be open
to the public because the ARC
space is limited, Leverette said.
Zoo supporters are urged to watch
on the local NBC affiliate WISTV.
"It was very easy to get Scott to
come," Leverette said. The zoo requested
the visit this past February
ana receivea confirmation in July.
WIS arranged the televising of the
show.
Scott's expenses will be paid,
but he will receive no other payment
for the visit.
"He is coming in celebration of
the opening," Leverette said. "The
ARC will get bigger and better."
Zoo hours are from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. daily. Admission is $3.50 for
adults and $1.50 for children. For
more information, call 779-8717.
