CINCINNATI (WLWT) — Everybody’s favorite hippo is turning 5 in January and the zoo is giving fans a chance to be a part of the party.
Fiona is turning 5 on Jan. 24 and those who purchase a $5 birthday gift will be able to attend the virtual birthday party and get a chance to win a Fiona table and original kiss painting by Fiona.
A $20 birthday gift includes an invitation to the party and five chances to win the grand prize.
All proceeds will support the zoo and Rare Gem Talent School, an organization for children with dyslexia based in Fiona’s native land and close to the table artist’s heart.
“Fiona has fans all over the world, and we want to open her party up to everyone,” said Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard. “Plus, planning an outdoor celebration in January is risky! A virtual celebration is the perfect way to include everyone.”
Gifts must be purchased by Jan. 22, 2022, at 11:59 p.m.
The drawing for the table will be on Fiona’s birthday and the winner will be announced during her virtual birthday celebration.
