The broadcast, hosted by Scott Hamilton and News 2’s Neil Orne, will feature performances by Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, and Amy Grant. The Zoo’s award-winning exhibits, outstanding animal care, and commitment to conservation will be highlighted throughout the show, along with some amazing ambassador animals.
