The world renowned ZOOperstars! are coming to Wings Stadium this Saturday, March 8th, as the K-Wings host the Muskegon Fury at 7:30 p.m.
Since booking 30 shows in 1998, their inaugural year, the ZOOperstars! now travel to nearly 200 sporting events. The “fastest growing entertainment act” in the country, ZOOperstrs! are known for the zany characters, such as Mario LeMule and Whale Gretzky.

The creators and performers of this completely unique show have a combined total of over 80 years of entertainment experience and have performed for over 30 million fans in the United States, Canada, Italy, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Taiwan, and Japan. Just in the past couple of years, the crazy antics of the ZOOperstars! have been highlighted on many national media outlets including ESPN, ESPN2, CNN Headline News, Fox SportsNet, and the NBC Today Show.

On Sunday (3/9), Kalamazoo will host the Bloomington PrairieThunder on Kidz Club Day presented by WKFR and Charter Media. Highlighting the special day will be Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer.
Created in 2000, Dora is a little girl with mismatched clothes who goes on adventures with her friend, a little red boot wearing monkey conveniently named Boots. During the adventures we also get to meet her talking backpack or mochila and the map who sings songs.
Dora enjoys sports. She was on a baseball team with her friends and was coached her father. She loves soccer and is very good at it. Dora also speaks Spanish, teaching small words to her viewers.
Before the game, Dora will be taking pictures with Kidz Club members in Hospitality Hall, located outside section 16, from 3:30 p.m. to the start of the game.
Following face-off, all kids in attendance will have the opportunity to meet Dora the Explorer.
