I am so excited for Big Cat Habitat’s event, Big Cat Bash that is happening on Friday, December 9th. There’s going to be live music, prizes, food trucks, a food drive and best of all the animals! Proceeds from the event will benefit Big Cat Habitat in their mission to “provide a safe, loving and permanent home for exotic and domestic animals in need, and to educate our guests on the importance of species preservation to ensure the survival of these magnificent animals for future generations.” and also celebrate the winner of the “Best of” contest by Clipper Magazine.
