In the spring of 2008, Larry Nunley became the new director of the
Skiatook Bluegrass Festival. Larry's duties begin with the final
plans of organizing the festival for June, 2008. Larry has served
as vice-president of the Skiatook Bluegrass Association.
If you
check out the "Bands" section on the Skiatook Bluegrass Festival
website, you will see Larry's picture with the Zoograss Boys. The
Zoograss Boys have performed at various festivals, private events,
as well as presenting a "Tradition of American Music" program at
regional public schools.
Larry, retired Tulsa zoo director, worked at the Tulsa Zoo for
33 years. His present occupation is cattle ranching. A guest
speaker at several civic club meetings, as well as Oklahoma State
University, Larry's topic has been the roles that zoos play in
wildlife conservation. He appears weekly on a local CBS affiliated

Zoo and wildlife conservation.
