Guests played Connect 4 at the Zoo Boo.

This year’s North Shore Bank Zoo Boo brought over 12,500 people to Green Bay’s NEW Zoo & Adventure Park over the second, third, and fourth Fridays and Saturdays of October. Bank employees helped out at the annual family Halloween-themed event.

As the Zoo Boo’s title sponsor, the bank held an exclusive 10-day presale for tickets on our website, selling 900 tickets for the event. We also had more than 250 entries for our Zoo Boo giveaway, which included a yearlong family membership to the zoo with an upgrade for an up-close-and-personal encounter with select animals — giraffes, penguins, or Aldabra giant tortoises.

Samuel Hall, Zachary Burmeister, Katie, and Emmeline Knight-Guzman ready to help Zoo Boo guests.

Roberta Strazishar helped out too.

“We put together a Seymour Scavenger Hunt for zoo-goers to teach them interesting animal facts,” AVP area branch manager Katie Longsine said. “We had a lot of fun working on site the final weekend, greeting guests and watching them challenge each other to our giant game of Connect 4.”

Along with Katie, bank employees who helped out with Zoo Boo include Pulaski universal banker Zachary Burmeister, VP branch operations manager Tricia Cravillion, Ashwaubenon teller Samuel Hall, district operations specialist Jill Heule, Howard-Suamico assistant branch manager Emmeline Knight-Guzman, and tellers Deb Price and Roberta Strazishar. Three students from Luxemburg-Casco High School pitched in too.
