Ready for the big show Friday night? Here’s some very important info for you and your family:

• The show is sold out – no tickets will be available at the door. BUT – Tenth Avenue North is playing a FREE acoustic concert at noon on Friday. Check out the details here.
• Your ticket reserves a seat in the auditorium, but does not have an actual assigned seat. That means that you’ll want to get there early to get the best seats in your section!
• Parking will be very limited – so again, get there early.
• Doors will open at 6pm, and the concert will begin at 6:55. You’ll likely want to have some seats picked out around 6.
• Steven Curtis Chapman’s son Caleb will be opening the evening with a performance, which will begin at 6:55.
• Be sure you swing by the Life 107.1 table to say hello, and get signed up for our drawing. We’re giving away an Autographed Casting Crowns Prize Pack – with a tote bag, CD, and Mark Hall’s new book.

It will be at First Federated Church:

The Blank Park Zoo has setup it’s annual April Fool’s hot lines.

Zoo officials said they receive an onslaught of April Fool’s Day prank phone calls from unsuspecting callers. The callers are given a message from a co-worker asking them to return a call to Mr. Rory Lyon, Ms. Sally Mander, Mr. Perry Keet, Mr. Wally B. Hopin and others at the Zoo’s phone number.

In response, the zoo set up four special phone numbers for pranksters:

# Mr. Rory Lion, 515-974-2670
# Ms. Sally Mander, 515-974-2671
# Mr. Perry Keet, 515-974-2672
# Mr. Wally B. Hopin, 515-974-2673

“If you can’t beat the pranksters, then join ‘em,” said Ryan Bickel, Blank Park Zoo spokesman. “Each number has a pre-recorded message that will let them know they have been fooled … but in a nice way.”

The messages are also available at the zoo’s Web site www.blankparkzoo.com

Officials said last year, the zoo’s phone system was overwhelmed with 30,000 phone calls on April 1.
