On April 14, 2002, we will celebrate Packys 40th Birthday with a bash thats sure to make even a 10 1.25 13,250-pound elephant blush.

The party includes a special peanut butter cake with carrot candles for Packy, a huge decorated cake for people and lots more fun family activities!!

During the whole month of April, the community will be engaged in 40 ways to celebrate Packys 40th birthday In a broad effort, like the dime campaign of 1962 that allowed the Zoo to purchase Packys mom and pop, Belle and Thonglaw, the community will attempt to raise $40,000 for elephant enrichment and conservation projects
