Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTeam coverage this morning from Utah's Hogle Zoo, where Boo at the Zoo went ahead on a Saturday, and the zoo's event manager, Amelia Naumann, told ABC4 that Halloween was actually that day.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the holiday showed up on the day it was scheduled for.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSaturday and Halloween, same day! I'd call it a coincidence, but the zoo's event manager called it a Saturday.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTrick-or-treating ran nine a. m. to three p. m. while supplies last, and visitors were asked to bring their own bag or bucket.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThey said rain or shine, bring a bucket. I assumed for the rain. No, that's for the candy.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwenty-two ninety-five for adults aged thirteen and over, and the treats are while supplies last. So the admission is guaranteed and the candy is a hope.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOrganized to the point where Halloween itself had to show up on time. I call that a scheduling miracle.
