Wolves of the WorldWolves of the World are new this year and will be presenting the mystical, enigmatic wolf pack. The show features a hero wolf that saves a young girl from drowning, showing that wolves can be intelligent and empathetic animals.
Also debuting this year is Wildlife Wendy. Wendy and her tropical birds provide an up close and personal encounter with the most entertaining species of the bird world. Audiences will be intrigued by the majestic macaws as they present their physical abilities and personalities. Roaming the grounds will be Robocars, a range of brightly colored, life-sized, transforming robot vehicles. Operator driven, they walk and drive, creating excitement and photo opportunities for families.
RobocarsDon't miss the Walking TreeMan and Cowboy Woody. Barely distinguishable from real trees, Walking TreeMan moves slowly and deliberately down the street, and can be seen from 150 yards away. There will be also someone dressed as a 10-foot-tall Woody from "Toy Story" performing lasso tricks.
Dozens of arts and crafts vendors will be selling their wares and information about local nonprofit and city organizations will also be on hand.
