This Saturday and Sunday are the Annual Phone Book Recycle Days at the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler. For every outdated phone book you bring you’ll receive one free admission to the zoo that day. We love the zoo in Tyler. It’s big enough to have a good variety yet small enough that you are able to still see all the exhibits. Say hello to the giraffes for us!
