Thank you

Thank you

They made them here during WW II. About one mile down river. When I was a kid, you could still see the rails that they were moved around the yard. Nice display, if you ever get down here.

I lived in Mt V for a while--heck, met Mrs GGF while there--never noticed it.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread...

Interesting! I just inquired as to their rules concerning carrying via email on their web site and received the following reply:

Hi XXXXX,


It is my understanding that you are permitted to carry a handgun with proper licensing. For details, I would suggest pulling the actual law up on the internet. Enjoy your visit!

Seems to me that THEY have taken their own advice by 'pulling the actual law up on the internet'.

Too little, too late unfortunately for them.

What other zoos are in Indiana that are not privately owned. My girlfriend and I enjoy the zoo, but Indianapolis Zoo is the ssdd everytime. I want something new, not looking for an OC event, just curious.

 

[atvdave]

The LTS is privately owned as well, so if you OC there you may want to call ahead to see if it's OK.

what about Fort Wayne Zoo? i have no idea if it is privately owned...anyone know if it is or not?

It is publicly owned.
I am one of the owners.

Thanks

There is absolutely no reason to carry your bacon where everyone can see it. Nobody wants to see your bacon.QUOTE]

Try this in a petting zoo.

Thanks

IMHO, the Indy zoo is lackluster for the price you pay

since we dont have government funding or any funding from the city we gotta keep it going somehow ya know? and people are willing to pay...so it works

Meh, it could be worse.

I suppose... Any reason the Indy Zoo doesn't look into state/federal money?

not really sure, i think it just has to do with the whole being privately owned and operated...but honestly i have no idea

My business is privately owned and operated but if I qualified for state and/or federal grants/funds I would certainly apply for it.

I wouldn't.

its also because the zoo is a non-profit organization

 

[MikeDVB]

I wouldn't.

Any particular reason?

Being non-profit does not preclude an organization from receiving grants to help with operations, improvements, and other business needs... Just as being non-profit doesn't preclude the business from paying it's executives (quite well in most cases).

Because it would be taking money from the state to prop up something that obviously cannot support itself.

Do not start a business that is not capable of making money
