Hundreds of Wind Crest Priority List members enjoyed an exclusive, members-only event at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, Colo., mingling with future neighbors, getting to know one another, exploring exhibits, and learning about the progress at Wind Crest.
A Wild Afternoon
On Tuesday, April 4th, Priority List members arrived ready for fun! The festivities began with a quick game that promised great prizes and a chance to learn about their future neighbors by finding people with things in common—like the same number of grandkids or hometown. Janet, a Wind Crest Priority List member from Virginia, says, “The ice breaker was great—it was a wonderful game for meeting people.”
After sampling light refreshments, Priority List members examined museum exhibits, watched IMAX films on the living sea and ancient worlds, and simply enjoyed each other’s company.
Janet continues, “Coming from such a distance, events like this one are very important for me…especially so I can meet people. It’s exactly what I needed to know— what a great caliber of people will live with me at Wind Crest.”
There was so much to see—an African savanna exhibit complete with lions, hyenas, a rhinoceros, and giraffes. Members of the Priority List could even learn about the Masaai Culture—an African tribe that herds cattle.
A tremendous display of National Geographic photographer, Frans Lanting’s work, captured the beauty of macaws in flight, the largest blooming flower known to man, and the countless species that inhabit tropical jungles the world over.
The inaugural exhibit, Back from the Brink, features the migration of bison to the United States and efforts to return them from the brink of extinction.
