NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Beginning November 14 and running through February 9, the Nashville Zoo is once again showing off over 1,000 custom-made glowing silk lanterns in Zoolumination.
But this year, there's a new twist to Zoolumination thanks to the Nashville Predators — an ice skating rink!
The rink is in honor of an American figure skater and Olympic Gold Medalist who is on the board of the Nashville Zoo, Scott Hamilton.
In addition to the rink, visitors will experience live entertainment at 6, 7 and 8:00 p.m. at the amphitheater, holiday drinks and food, and from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4 there's a North Pole Village as well.
Single night tickets are $25 for adults and teenagers, $21 for kids ages 2 to 12, and free for children under 2. You can purchase tickets on the Nashville Zoo website.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
