Clovis zoo hosts 'Communities Talk'

Curry County Youth Services, along with the city of Clovis, on Saturday will open Hillcrest Park Zoo to families for a “Communities Talk” event.

The free program is aimed at preventing underage drinking by starting a conversation with families on the impacts of alcohol.

At “Communities Talk,” children will receive a “passport” to take to each of 10 information stations throughout the zoo to learn about the statistics of underage drinking in the county, while also being able to partake in age-appropriate activities.

“Communities Talk” is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be raffle prizes and a go-kart obstacle course for children.
