Zoo Atlanta to Host City of Atlanta and Fulton County Family Days
Proudly supported by Walmart and The National PTA Urban Family Engagement Initiative
Zoo Atlanta will host City of Atlanta and Fulton County Family Days on Saturday, August 14 and Sunday, August 15, 2010. Proudly supported by Walmart and The National PTA Urban Family Engagement Initiative, the weekend offers free admission to guests who can demonstrate residence in the City of Atlanta and Fulton County or employment in either the City of Atlanta or Fulton County Government.
“Our organization is committed to our community and to ensuring that everyone in the City of Atlanta and Fulton County has an opportunity to benefit from our animals, mission and programs,” said Raymond King, Zoo Atlanta President and CEO. “We are deeply grateful to our partners at Walmart and The National PTA Urban Family Engagement Initiative for demonstrating their shared support for our belief that every family should be able to enjoy the Zoo, particularly in these difficult economic times.”
Free admission will be valid for two adults and up to four children per family. As an additional benefit, The National PTA Urban Family Engagement Initiative will distribute 500 free backpacks stocked with school supplies on Saturday, August 14. Backpacks will be distributed while supplies last and will be available on Saturday only. “The families of Atlanta have always played an integral role in PTA’s growth and development,” said Charles J. “Chuck” Saylors, National PTA President. “It is the home of one of our great past leaders and founder, Selena Sloan Butler, who paved the way for equality in education and parent involvement. Giving back to the families of this city forwards the passion that Selena brought to PTA and promotes our efforts to be a voice for all children.”
“We’re excited to join forces with Zoo Atlanta to give back to the communities we serve by offering the City of Atlanta and Fulton County residents a chance to save money and make memories,” said Karen Brewer-Edwards, Wal-Mart’s regional general manager for North Georgia. “Our partnership with Zoo Atlanta is a testament of our ongoing commitment to provide families with opportunities to live better.”
Recognized forms of identification for free admission during City of Atlanta and Fulton County Family Days are as follows:
City of Atlanta or Fulton County residents: Georgia Driver’s License; State of Georgia-issued voter identification; or water, gas or light utility bill demonstrating residence in the City of Atlanta or Fulton County.

City of Atlanta and Fulton County Family Days hosted by Zoo Atlanta in previous years were extremely well-attended; guests should expect unusually high volume on both of these days. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early and to consider MARTA travel, as parking will be limited. For more information, visit zooatlanta.org.

Atlanta Steeplechase Sets New Date for 2011
“Best Lawn Party in Georgia” to be held April 16
The excitement returns April 16, 2011 with the 46th annual Atlanta Steeplechase – featuring an earlier event date. Preparations are already underway for Georgia’s world class racing event and the social event of the spring season!
“Having flexibility with our date gives us the room we need to increase attendance and sponsorship opportunities at this great and growing event,” said Atlanta Steeplechase Board Chairman Hal Barry. "Our track is in the finest condition it's ever been in and by moving the race date up a few weeks we can ensure that the best horses in the country will come to the Atlanta Steeplechase."
An action-packed day of fun for race fans, families and businesses, Atlanta Steeplechase returns with crowd favorites and the thrill of horse racing at its best.
“We are really excited about moving the Steeplechase up a few weeks,” said Atlanta Steeplechase Marketing and Sales Director India Watson. “We made sure that we do not conflict with Spring Break, Easter or the Masters, so Atlanta needs to plan early to spend the 16th of April at the Best Lawn Party in Georgia!”
Back once again will be beloved traditions, including the Ladies Hat Contest, Jack Russell Terrier Races and, of course, tailgating fun. There are also some exciting surprises in store for the 2011 event, which benefits the Starlight Children’s Foundation and The University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
The annual Atlanta Steeplechase is held at Kingston Downs on 400 acres of beautiful countryside situated along the banks of the Etowah River. Each year some 25,000 people spend the day the old fashioned way socializing with friends, eating barbecue, drinking ice cold beverages and cheering on their favorite horses as they gallop down the back stretch.
The day is filled with family-fun activities, including hat contests, tent contests, a foxhound parade, skydivers, children’s activities, terrier races, Frisbee dogs, shopping, people watching and so much more!
Also new are two amateur races including a Pony Pace for riders 12 and under and Junior Jockeys – for 12-18 year old equestrians.
Preparations for the 2012 Atlanta Steeplechase are also in the works. The race date for the 2012 Atlanta Steeplechase has been set for April 14.
For more information about the Atlanta Steeplechase – please call 404-237-7436 or go to www.atlantasteeplechase.org.
