TOLEDO -- Tonight, the Toledo Zoo flips the switch on its annual "Lights Before Christmas" display and to thank our veterans the zoo is offering free admission to military men and women. KeyBank is sponsoring the event on Nov. 18.
"We're pleased that we've been part of the Toledo Zoo's great event since its inception," said James A. Hoffman, president of KeyBank's Northwest Ohio/Michigan District. "Each year we try to do something special as part of our Lights Before Christmas sponsorship, and this year we're saying thank-you to the men and women - and their families - who serve our country. We truly appreciate the sacrifices they make, and we hope those who are able can join us for a festive evening at the Zoo with their families on Friday, November 18."
