EVENT TIPS

HOW TO BEAT THE TRAFFIC & GET TO THE EGGS QUICKER

  1. Arrive early Traffic around the Zoo is particularly heavy on this day. We recommend arriving at least one hour in advance of the scheduled hunt for your child’s age group. Allow plenty of time to park and get to Festival Field.
  2. Additional Parking & Entrance We will open the back part of the Zoo for overflow parking if needed.
  3. Members get through the ticket booth quicker. Membership expiring soon? We strongly encourage you to renew online before heading to the Zoo. You can use your email confirmation to show proof of membership.

DURING THE EVENT

  1. Pick up a schedule of events at the entrance. This will include times for all activities throughout the day.
  2. Don’t forget the essentials. Egg basket/bag, camera and sunscreen.
  3. Missed the egg hunt for your age group? Younger children who miss their hunt may enter an older aged hunt, but older kids may not participate in lower age groups’ hunts. Please only hunt once.
  4. It’s not the number of eggs that matters. Every child receives a goodie bag regardless of the number of eggs collected. Redemption tents are adjacent to the egg hunt field.

Speak Up! against distracted driving event set for Saturday

4:38 pm | Friday, Nov 6th
| No Comments

Multiple law enforcement agencies throughout Williamson County are joining together to collectively spread the word about the dangers of distracted and impaired driving.

Speak Up, a free day-long event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the parking lot of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital Vanderbilt at Williamson Medical Center.

The event is designed to be a fun day for the whole family, as well as to open up the lines of communication between parents and their teenage children about driving, while texting or drinking.

“Teenagers often hear about these dangers at school, but the parents aren’t always involved in those conversations,” said event organizer Todd Ice, with SERVPRO of Williamson County. “This event is designed to help parents know how to ask their teenagers about this topic and educate both the parents and the teens on these very real dangers.

“If we can save one life, it’ll be worth it.”

In addition to activities for smaller children such as bounce houses and face painting, the day will include a live crash simulation culminating with a LifeFlight departure (weather permitting), live entertainment, guest speakers, Power for the Parent workshops on drug awareness and a drunk driving challenge course.

Involved in the event will be the Franklin and Brentwood Police, Franklin Fire Department, Fairview Police Department, the Williamson County Anti-Drug Coalition, Williamson County CASA, Williamson County Juvenile Court, Williamson County Sherriff’s Department, Williamson County EMS, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the National Guard, among others.

There will be food trucks, a touch-a-truck and toys and prizes for the children with live music on an entertainment stage throughout the day with performances from Allie Brooks, Mila Mason, Spring Hill HarMonix, Jesse & Noah and other local and regional performers.

All proceeds from the event will go to the children’s hospital at Williamson Medical Center and the Williamson County Anti-Drug Coalition. The event is brought to you by SERVPRO of Williamson County with the support of Unique Quality Marketing, Inc.
