2008 Spring Fecal Fest

Entry submissions accepted March 7-22, 2008

It’s that time of year for the annual spring Fecal Fest when garden enthusiasts enter a drawing in hopes of being selected to purchase Woodland Park Zoo’s highly coveted Zoo Doo. The pungent piles of poop make up the richest, highly aromatic, most exotic compost in the Pacific Northwest.

When:
Dr. Doo is accepting entry cards from March 7 through March 22 only. Entry cards will be randomly selected according to supply and demand. Dr. Doo will contact the lucky entries only. The Fecal Fest traditionally sells out.

The lucky winners will be notified of load times and can load their Zoo Doo using shovels provided by the zoo. Pick up times will be April 5-19.

How:
Send a standard postcard to Zoo Doo, Woodland Park Zoo, 601 N. 59th St., Seattle, WA 98103. Include the following information:

  • Name
  • Day/evening phone numbers
  • Amount of Zoo Doo you’d like to purchase (anything from a garbage bag to a full-size pick-up truck load)
  • Weekday or weekend preference for pick-up

Cost:
Pick-up truck 8x4 bed is $60, 6x4 bed $45, and 6x3 bed $35. Garbage cans are $8 to $10 and bags $4 to $6 depending on size. Limit one full truck per person. Two-gallon and pint-sized buckets are available in the ZooStore for $14.95 and $4.95, respectively.
