Zany Zoo cast another wide net by inviting every child in the Norristown PA School District to adopt and paint a portrait of their favorite animal in the tiny local Elmwood Park Zoo. The resulting 796 portraits were exhibited to honor of the 50th Birthday of Earth Day and ninety-nine artworks became part of the Fresh Artists Collection of Children's Art. Ten portraits were chosen to create the Zany Zoo Fresh Artists 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
