The PBC Photo Walkers are excited to announce this year’s Worldwide Photo Walk! This year we will meet at Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee. The official walk is from 10-12, with lunch from 12-1, and here’s the plan:

-The ticket booth opens at 9:30. I will give the name of everyone who has rsvpd & paid in advance (more about cost below) and that will get you through the gate.
-BEFORE the safari drive-through you’ll make a left turn and look for the pavilion on the left hand side. Park and get to the pavilion by 10:00, where we will meet as a group before the official meetup starts.
-At this time, we will group up if people are interested and get back in our vehicles and drive through the safari. I’m hoping people will come in their bigger cars/suvs and we can fit a bunch of people in each vehicle, instead of all 50 of us driving through alone. Keep in mind that LCS has pretty strict rules about opening windows (especially near the lions, which I learned the hard way!) but all along the roads there is plenty of place to pull over to take pictures for as long as you want.
-After the drive-through safari, everyone should just park back in the parking lot and walk around the rest of the park. I will send more information about specific things to see & do as the event gets closer.
-At noon we will meet back at the pavilion and we will be served a buffet lunch (burgers, dogs, salads & drinks). At this time, we will likely enjoy looking at our pictures.
-Everyone is welcome to stay all day to enjoy the park (and all photos taken at LCS throughout the day will be eligible for the contest). The park closes at 5:30.
-I’m working with the event & marketing coordinator at LCS to come up with something fun for our group (maybe a photo contest). Details to follow.
-Note, this might be a good time to rent a nice big lens for the weekend! I may try the 100-400 again.

ADMISSION:
-The cost of regular admission is $26.50 + tax (total of about $28) but since we’re part of a group, for another few dollars we will get a buffet lunch and use of the events pavilion.
-Here is the important part:
YOU MUST PAY IN ADVANCE in our meetup group, PBC Photo Walkers (www.meetup.com/PBC-Photo-Walkers). If you’re not already a member, it’s quick & free to sign up. Payment is made right through the site and it goes through Pay Pal.

As usual, I look forward to seeing my good friends and meeting new ones. Our group is very friendly and diverse and everyone is welcome.
