WANTED: Party ANIMALS Around West Orange, NJ



Here's details of a new contest from the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo.

I don't know when the last time you visited the Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange (behind the Codey Arena at South Mountain), but it is not the same zoo your dad brought you to when you were a kid.

The Turtle Back Zoo is now an officially accredited zoo in NJ. They've added a bunch of great new exhibits and residents. There's a great BIG carousel and playground for the kids. The bird aviary is definiately one of my kids' favorite areas. And you have the good ol' standby classic - the choo choo train that takes you around the lake at South Mountain in the back of the zoo grounds.

The Zoo is giving away a free party for you and 25 if your friends. They'll even throw in a $250 gift card so you can be a super host and look like a star.

The contest entry requirements are so easy that you have no excuse NOT to enter for the party price worth $675!

Get on it, because the deadline is October 15th!
