Katie Cassidy, daughter of Shawn and Elizabeth Cassidy of Fayetteville, poses with Zoo Atlanta’s new costumed characters: Savannah the Warthog and Kala the Meerkat. Cassidy won a contest to name the mascots. She was able to meet the characters when she attended the grand opening of the warthog and meerkat exhibit at the zoo. Cassidy entered the contest last year as part of a school assignment while she was a student at Whitewater Middle School in Lisa Pitman’s social studies class. Photo/Special.
