NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — People of all ages are invited to celebrate the longest day of the year and the start of winter under the stars at the Warner Park Nature Center Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
There will be free activities such as s'mores by campfires, wreath making, taking a look at the stars through the telescope, and winter crafts.
People can also learn about the history of other cultures celebrating the winter solstice.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
