            Saying good-bye to summer isn’t always easy, but to help with the transition, the “Valley Yellow Pages” is offering free admission to the first 100 adults who visit the California Living Museum during Twilight at CALM from 5:30-8 p.m. on Aug. 30. And all children (ages 3-17) will be admitted free, too. Officials at the “Valley Yellow Pages” want to help families enjoy the zoo and learn about their surrounding environment.

            Guests will be treated to a wildlife demonstration, up close and personal opportunities to see Ambassador Animals displayed by strolling docents and rides on the Central California Children’s Railroad for only $1.

 “Valley Yellow Pages” has chosen CALM to grace the cover of its 2008 phone directory. Inside the directory, you will find information about CALM and some of its animals, as well as coupons for admission to the zoo and 2008 HolidayLights at CALM.

            CALM is located at 10500 Alfred Harrell Highway, (between Lake Ming and Hart Park) in northeast Bakersfield, and for more than 25 years has cared for animals that have been injured or otherwise cannot survive in their native environment.
