Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge will celebrate 31 years of providing sanctuary to rescued big cats and bears at a very special event to be held from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 29.
This event is the first of its kind that Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge has hosted on the property. Guests will enjoy a happy hour in the Discovery Area amongst the big cats with cocktails, appetizers, and live music. Visitors will then enjoy a special tram tour followed by dinner, which also will be served in the Discovery Area. Guest speakers will be Carole and Howard Baskin from Big Cat Rescue in Florida.
Big-cat sanctuaries across America celebrated when President Joe Biden signed The Big Cat Public Safety Act into law on December 20, 2022.
“We want to come and join Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in celebrating their anniversary and passage of this important legislation,” Carole Baskin said.
“We have hosted other events here at Turpentine Creek,” said Tanya Smith, president and founding member of the refuge. “But this will be the first time we’ve done anything like this near the animals. People always ask about feeding time which is done in the morning before we open to the public out of respect to the animals. We thought it would be a lot of fun to reverse roles and feed the people.”
In addition to good food and live music, there will be both a silent and live auction with proceeds benefiting the animals at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. The refuge will also share never before-seen footage of rescues. Tickets to this special event are limited so be sure to get yours before the event sells out.
