Five year old Sidonia Jean Kingery is feeding "Queen Tut" a carrot while other guests look on. Penny held out a hopeful trunk too. Sidonia is wearing a patterned dress and a bow in her hair. Zookeeper Hamilton Hittson is standing next to Sidonia. He is dressed in a short-sleeve shirt, necktie, and trousers. The crowd of people are standing behind Sidonia on the other side of the fence.
