The Zula Patrol is Coming!
Friday and Saturday, November 23 & 24, 2001
>From the far reaches of outer space, from the bright orange Planet Zula,
comes The Zula Patrol! A long time ago, Bula, an intrepid space explorer,
and his loyal space pet Gorga crash-landed on Planet Earth. Two gentle
earthlings rescued them. With their help, Bula and Gorga were soon on
their way back home to Planet Zula. This one act of caring, the kindness
of strangers, led Bula to recognize his life's mission: to help others in
need, anywhere, no matter their size, shape or color...even purple polka
dotted. To carry out his missions, Bula organized a band of merry friends:
Zeeter, Multo, Wizzy & Wigg and faithful pet Gorga. Known as The Zula
Patrol, they rush in where others fear to tread, slither, or float.
Now, the Zula Patrol is coming to take over the Adler Planetarium &
Astronomy Museum! The Adler Planetarium is the site of the worldwide
premiere of “The Zula Patrol” videos. Educational, astronomical, as well
as fun, the Zula Patrol will appeal to kids ages 8 to 80! For more Zula
