We had a great time at the Topeka Zoo this weekend feeding the giraffes -- Daisy & Hope. We weren't the only ones. Here are some of the Happy faces we enjoyed giraffe feeding time with. Silver Lake Bank was pleased to sponsor the feeding so everyone could feed these long-neck beauties for free! Free feedings continue June-August on Sundays at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 11 a.m. If you want to help, be sure to open a checking account with us and request the Topeka Zoo debit card. It is free to both you and the Zoo. You can help the Zoo by using your Zoo debit card for everyday purchases. It is an effortless way to give back! Visit the QR code below for details.
