Zoboo will make his first visit to Alaska and will attend the Alyeska Track & Field Games at the West Valley Track on Saturday, June 11. Zoboo will make his appearances at the KUAC tent during the games from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

Zoboomafoo (pronounced zah-BOO-mah-foo) a PBS Kids show on KUAC Alaska One, stars the Kratt brothers - Martin and Chris - and a playful and curious little lemur named Zoboomafoo. Through live action and the wonders of puppetry, animation and claymation, Zoboomafoo - "Zoboo" for short - is every little kid’s dream: a wonderful talking animal who’s a special friend.

In the KUAC tent at the Alyeska Track & Field Games, kids can make bookmarks for Father’s Day, patriotic necklaces, snap bracelets, choose from several coloring activities and make animal magnets.

Zoboomafoo can be seen on KUAC Alaska One, Channel 9 in Fairbanks. Check the web site at www.alaskaone for the local listing and more about PBS Kids and Zoboomafoo.
