Now back from Chi-town, we had tickets to the Milwaukee Zoo Ala Carte event thanks to one of my husband's vendors - Pieper Electric. We have been invited to this wonderful event for the past several years, and were once again very thankful to attend. Pieper Electric has their own tent set-up in the Maple Grove picnic area outside the zoo where you can talk to your contacts, drink beer, and this year they even added food. We mingled for a bit and then Matt was given a stack of tickets to go inside the zoo to enjoy more food from several local restaurants. None of us were able to move much once we made our way around the complete zoo. We tried things such as chocolate covered bacon, gazpacho, sour cream and chive french fries, carrot cake, Firecracker shrimp, chocolate covered strawberries and so much more. There was great music and all the food you could ever want to eat all within the zoo. The highlight of our night was the Birds from Down Under display where we were able to feed and touch parrots, cockatiels, and parakeets.
