Hi everyone! Welcome to ZooLights! This year's theme is "Nature All A-Glow!"

The trees glow, the cactus glow and our animals glow with more than 2.5 million lights! Not real animals like me silly – but sculpture animals. ZooLights begins after most of my live animal friends here at the Zoo go to sleep, except for me! Once it gets really dark, the Phoenix Zoo magically transforms into one of the largest holiday lighting events in the entire southwest with bright lights and bazillions of light sculptures from stars to great big elephants.

I HAVE A NEW FRIEND THIS YEAR! Agent Not-a-horse. He's an undercover agent who's keeping an eye on me so I don't get in trouble. But, I think if anyone is going to get in trouble it will be him! He's new at the secret agent business and I don't think he knows what he's doing!

Don't forget to come talk to me, I'm over by those black and white striped characters that look like horses.
See you soon! Jengo
