Oh my goodness, I will so go! This a great thing to go, it’s romantic and fun to be awed by all the bright colors. It’s going to be a frosty one this year though!

Thanks. Having volunteered at the first one, I needed that. After learning how a zoo back east did it, they sure perfected their own version. It continues to evolve to every year, and there are still a lot of ideas and topics that haven’t been tried yet. Still a good value.

Sorry but I just don’t see what the big deal is about walking around the zoo and looking at plastic lights fueled by lots of electricity. What’s the carbon footprint of Zoolights anyway? (Better include all of the vehicles that drive to this event.)

Sheesh. Put me somewhere in the chasm between #1 and #3. Anyway, did I accidentally discover a character string that gives me a red “X?” Let me try again:
I guess so.

One of the missions of PDZ is to save endangered animals. This is a way for them to finance that endeavor. They do use LED lights, which use a faction of the electricity.
Pick your poison.
For me, it’s fun and funds a worthy cause. I’ll be there.

Geez Debbie Downer. We like Zoolights because we’re supporting a good cause and celebrating our city parks. Count me in!
