My Day at the Zoo by Guest Blogger Hillary B.

I was thrilled to be the winner of the Mount Royal Light’s zoo pass giveaway. Going to the Milwaukee County Zoo – for free! I called my mom and we made a whole day out if it! It was a perfect way to say goodbye to the summer weather.

Going to the zoo brings back many memories for both my mom and me. The zoo always reminds me of prom (yes, my school had prom at the zoo). And according to my mom, the zoo always reminds her of pushing a heavy stroller around in 90-degree heat. Sorry mom!

We passed the Zoo’s signature peacocks meandering through the forests, a flamingo with a cast on its leg, and a cute little duck in the bird exhibit. We even went through the “Dinosaurs Alive” exhibit and saw all the robotic dinosaurs in their pre-historic glory. Tigers are my favorite animals, and luckily, we came to their cage just as they were getting back from feeding time. They were very frisky and lively, searching their cages for any treats the zookeepers left behind. At one point, a tiger came to where I was standing and its head was only a few feet away from me through the glass. When I realized this was probably as close to a tiger as I would ever be in my life, I thought that was an amazing experience.

At the end of the day, I realized some things never change. Twenty years later, I can still have a great day at the zoo with my mom just like when I was five. The penguins will always smell bad, the otters will always make me laugh, and for a few dollars, I can always get a Mold-O-Rama of a crocodile.

Another thing that will never change is my love for Mount Royal Light! Thanks so much for a wonderful day at the zoo!!

Coin’s, country and cold whisky!

Coins Sports Bar in Kenosha was hoppin’ on Friday the 13th! This was their 2nd MRL Party… they wanted us back because it was so much fun the first timeMichael Scott, country singer from Nashville, TN was in town and serenading us with classic country, southern rock, country rock and keeping the party going. He rocked the Mount Royal Light tee later on in the night!

We had 3 more mirror winners by the end of the night. They left as happy campers, not only because they won an extra prize but because they were drinking Mount Royal Light drinks and shots! Hopefully the pictures give you a taste of our fun night!

Thank you to Mark and the rest of the Coin’s staff for hosting, Michael Scott for the fantastic music, Diane Carlin for some great photos and to Aras Promotions!
