Hendel: ZOO-to-DO draws thousands
SUNSET on the Savanna, the PNC ZOO-to-DO presented by Lexus of Toledo at the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium on Sept. 20 drew 2,250 party-goers while the animals were fast asleep.

The rain or shine event, expected to net $345,000, started with showers, but before the VIP party in the Malawi Event Center featuring food by Hollywood Casino; entertainment, animal encounters, and train rides ended, the skies cleared for a beautiful night. Everyone, who paid $185 for members and $200 for nonmembers, headed across the bridge past the bald eagle, to the historical side all lit with holiday lights, a preview of the Lights Before Christmas.
