Village Life Outreach Project
The 29th Annual PNC Festival of Lights, one of the
Tristate's longest running holiday traditions, was
beautiful and more colorful than ever before with
nearly two million LED lights! All holiday lighting
used for this event were energy-saving LEDs, helping
the Zoo save up to 85% on its electric bill during the
event which ran November 25, 2011 - January 1, 2012.

With cameras in hand and all bundled up for the
holiday cold weather, thousands celebrated the
season strolling through the themed areas from
FAIRYLAND to CANDY CANE FOREST to TWINKLE
TRAIL and MORE!  Annually between 175,000 to
200,000 people visit this holiday favorite and make
the PNC Festival of Lights a part of their holiday
memories.

It was another year of fun and making spirits bright!

In October 2011, Boyz II Men
released Twenty - their 10th

songs on the new release is
"One Up For Love".  Heard the
song?  Posted the video so

No more excuses ... Just

up for love".
