HAVE A WILD NIGHT FOR A WORTHY CAUSE AT THIS 21-AND-UP CMZOO FUNDRAISING EVENT – It’s your last chance to catch Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s 21-and-up evening music series, Tails & Tunes, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Thurs., Sept. 29. There’s nowhere else you can feed a giraffe, have a drink, enjoy live music and breathe in the fresh evening mountain air. This truly unique event is perfect for a girls’ night out, work celebration or date night.

Advance tickets are required for members and the general public. Tickets are available now at cmzoo.org/tails.

In addition, 75¢ from every Tails & Tunes ticket goes to CMZoo’s Quarters for Conservation program, which has raised more than $4 million for frontline conservation efforts around the world since 2008.
