I never cease to be amazed by the commitment of the Friends and volunteers who work tirelessly to make the difference to the Park. The Annual Open Day at Maryon Wilson Animal Park brings a massive crowd to enjoy the occasion. I caught up with the face painters but declined the kind invitation. I struggled to get out of the animal painting after plenty of arm twisting (picture below). The fruits of my labour were, frankly, limited but enjoyable. Great afternoon out – well done to everyone involved.
