FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Coca-Cola presents
Brother & Sister Berenstain Bear
at the Louisville Zoo July 11-12

Brother and Sister Berenstain Bear are traveling all the way from their Tree House in Bear Country to the Louisville Zoo on July 11-12 courtesy of Coca-Cola.

You can meet Brother and Sister from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the ZooVision Building. Be sure to bring your camera for fun photos!

Kids can also play cool games at the Operation Planet Savers tent on the Zoo’s front plaza, hosted by Humana. At this free activity area, kids can try out an electronic jump rope game and pick up a free pair of OPS sunglasses and G-Force movie poster as well as register with their parents to play Operation Planet Savers at home. (Operation Planet Savers, developed in conjunction with Disney’s new movie G-Force, is a free, web-based game that gets kids outside and active as they train to be OPS special agents. Participants are eligible to win a free I-pod Touch or a Nintendo DSi, and registration is at www.humanagames.com.)

Brother Bear loves all sports but his favorite is soccer. He is often heard saying, “soccer is how I get my kicks.” He is also a big fan of T. Rex dinosaurs and model airplane building. Sometimes he lifts up rocks to see what strange bugs lurk underneath.

Sister Bear is a bundle of energy—a whirling hubbub. Her favorite color is pink, and her favorite doll is her Bearbie. Her life’s ambition is to jump rope to 1,000. She is all girl but sometimes just one of the guys.

This event is free with Zoo admission. Members enter free as a benefit of their membership.

This event, presented by Coca-Cola, is also made possible by support from Humana.
