Celebrate the Holidays at Village Park

Twenty-five displays and nearly 100 trees decorated with over 130,000 lights will be on display this year in Village Park. Featured exhibits include the soldiers that once stood around the lake in front of Cannon Mills and the Happy Holidays display that floated in the middle of the lake. This year also includes a 125-foot tunnel of lights and a 23-foot tall lighthouse.

Visitors to the park can take in the lights via the Winterland Express or the Santa Train. The Santa Train includes a visit with Santa, children’s activities and a train ride with Santa as the conductor.

Over the next month, a subcommittee of councilmen Roger Haas and Gene McCombs will screen the applications and select several finalists for the entire Council to interview. The goal is to have the new member seated in February.
