Traveling zoo highlights Fair attractions
7/8/2007 - The Two-by-Two Traveling Zoo highlights the midway attractions at this year's Chautauqua County Fair scheduled for July 23-29 at the fairgrounds in Dunkirk.
Presented by Horizon Wind Energy, the zoo is open throughout each day of the fair with an array of mammals, reptiles and birds displayed in their simulated natural habitats.
"We are not your typical petting zoo," said owner Peter Iannucci. "We provide the public with personal and educational information about our animals to make everyone's visit a memorable one. A trip to our zoo is a great experience for young and old alike."
Animals scheduled to be at the fair's zoo include ring-tailed lemurs, kangaroos, leopards, bears, pythons and parrots.
Iannucci noted that the Two-by-Two zoo is licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture. "Our animals are not pets. They are friendly, clean and sociable, but they are still wild," he said. "They have either been placed with us voluntarily or adopted."
J & J Amusements is co-sponsoring the appearance of the traveling zoo and will again bring its monster midway to the fairgrounds for the weeklong event.
Advance sale tickets are available through July 22 at many area retailers and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the fair's Central Avenue ticket office. The fair's Web site, www.chautauquacountyfair.org, provides ticket outlet locations and fair event information.
There has been no increase in the fair's pay-one-price admission tickets this year. Advance sale tickets are $6 per person and daily gate tickets are $8 per person Monday-Thursday and $9 per person Friday-Sunday. Senior citizens can purchase tickets at the gates at half price any day of the fair.
The fair's pay-one-price admission includes unlimited mechanical midway rides, all Arthur R. Maytum Family Theater and Budweiser Grandstand shows except demolition derby reserved seating, and all other events and exhibits at the fair. Purchase of an advance sale or daily gate admission ticket is required to attend all Budweiser Grandstand events.
This year marks the 126th year of the Chautauqua County Fair.
