On Thursday, October 3, at 10:30 a.m., the Toledo Zoo will host a naturalization ceremony for new U.S. citizens. The ceremony represents a partnership between the Zoo and the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, the Honorable Jack Zouhary presiding.

The Zoo is hosting the ceremony in the Indoor Theatre of its historic Museum of Science. Sixty-two new citizens are expected to take oaths of U.S. citizenship beginning at 10:30 a.m. Judge Zouhary will lead the ceremony.

“It is a privilege to welcome some of our country’s newest citizens during this ceremony at the Zoo,” Jeff Sailer, the Zoo’s executive director, said. “No matter where we were born or grew up, people worldwide share one thing in common: an appreciation of animals and the natural world.”

The ceremony is open to the public (regular Zoo admission applies), but space is limited.
