Great
Darke County Fair
Elephant
Encounter coming to the Fair
The
Board of Directors for The Great Darke County Fair are pleased
to announce that the ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER will perform 3 shows daily
(3pm, 5pm,
7pm) beginning Monday, August 19th and ending Saturday, August 24th.
ELEPHANT
ENCOUNTER is an educational and entertaining experience
for the entire family, as they guide you through an up close and
personal
encounter with the world’s largest animals. No place, anywhere, will
you see
elephants like you are going to see here at The Great Darke County Fair.
The
ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER is an all day attraction in a tropical
setting. You’ll be inspired as you experience the full force of each
elephant’s
unique individual personality. The Morris family is lucky to have both
species
of elephants involved in these shows. Cora is a 49-year-old Asian
elephant,
weighing in at 9,000 pounds and Shannon is their 25-year-old African
elephant,
weighing in at 4,500.
This
could change the way you think and feel about these
magnificent creatures forever. These are not circus elephants, nor are
they zoo
elephants. They are family elephants and have been owned and cared for
by the
Morris family for virtually their entire lives. The Morris family
represents 3
generations who have dedicated their entire lives to the study and care
of
these elephants.
These
shows will take place in the same location as the Tiger,
Alligator and KidBuck$ Shows in past years. Don’t miss this experience
at The
Great Darke County Fair!
Fair
dates for 157th Darke County Fair: August 16-24, 2013.
