The Knoxville Zoo will hold Feast with the Beasts, one of the zoo’s biggest fundraisers, from 7 to 11 p.m. Aug. 14.
     Guests can eat, drink and dance their way throughout the zoo for the evening, sampling some food and drinks from more than 25 restaurants, wineries, breweries and distributors. Adventurous eaters can enjoy a variety of cuisines to suit all types of palates, from appetizers to desserts.  
     Participating vendors include The Crown and Goose, Highland Brewing Company, Rooster’s Bar and Grill, Bayou Bay Seafood House, Puleo’s Grille, Regas Restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, O’Charley’s, Romano’s Macaroni Grill, and Smoky Mountain Brewery, just to name a few.
     A complete list of participating vendors can be found on Knoxville Zoo’s Web site at www.knoxville-zoo.org.
     Music on three stages promises to keep the evening lively. Mic Harrison and the High Score will entertain on the main Plaza stage, bringing their rough-andtumble style of Americana music that has made them Knoxville favorites.
     Dream On Alice will rock the Kids Cove stage with hits from the 70’s to the present and for those who are on “island time”, Jim Asbell and The Tropiholics will be performing the best-loved songs of Jimmy Buffet on the Animal Encounter Village stage. Another crowd favorite has returned this year, too; the zoo’s chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) will be hosting their famous silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind animal art and great gift packages.
     Tickets for Feast with the Beasts are $60 per person in advance and $70 the day of the event. Zoo members receive a $5 discount. Buy nine tickets and get the tenth ticket free.
      Tickets are on sale at area ORNL Federal Credit Union branches and Knoxville Zoo’s ticket window during zoo hours. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.knoxville-zoo.org or by calling (865) 637-5331. Feast with the Beasts is for guests 21 years of age and over and guests must show a valid photo I.D. to enter the event.
