“We’re thankful for the sponsors, restaurants, vendors, generous organizations, volunteers and staff that donated their time, money and fare to Feast with the Beasts. The Miami Heat dancers, Pyro Fusion fire dancers, Flowing Arts Movement belly dancers and Moroccan party area by Berber Events made this event fun and unforgettable,” said Nestor Rodriguez, Zoological Society of Florida (ZSF) President and CEO.
Special dignitaries at the wild fundraiser included Commissioners Jose “Pepe” Diaz, Sally Heyman, Katy Sorenson and County Manager George Burgess. Broadcast news anchors like Dan Le Batard, Lissette Gonzalez, and Bob Mayer also came to enjoy the varied cuisine and encounters with parrots, hawks, snakes, skunks and lizards.

Beautiful models clad in black were selling zootinis, special zoo inspired martinis made with Revolution Good Spirits Sugar Free Mixers in assorted flavors. Zootini purchasers were given a glow in the dark glass to keep and refill all night for free.
Ron Magill’s Spectacular Dance Party was a hit with great entertainment and plenty of desserts. DJ Donny Michaels started the party off with The Miami Heat dancers and great dance music. Those with a sweet tooth were treated to Blue Bell Ice Cream, Cupcakes Nouveau, 2 Girls and a Cupcake, Ghiradelli chocolate, Hot Cookies, Aroma Espresso & Cappuccino Bar and much more.
