Many sponsoring organizations and businesses are a part of this very special event. Christmas In the Park’s opening night will take place on Wednesday, November 27th and will end on January 5th. The lights will remain on from dusk to dawn.
New additions to the park include a new gingerbread house sponsored by Modern Real Estate, along with 12 new displays depicting the 12 days of Christmas, sponsored by Bonus Pints & Vibrant Events Center, Prime Drain & Plumbing, Slusser’s Green Thumb, Kirby Risk, All-Phase Electric, Army of 5, Cass County Online, Fernbaugh’s Diamonds and Fine Jewelery, Hometown Health, Tyson, McCord’s Do-It-Best, and Teri and Tom Partridge. Some new specialty trees and special lighting will enhance the beautiful displays throughout the park. All of the other special displays such as the jumping deer, the colorful tunnel, and the waving Santa are being lit up for the public’s enjoyment. In addition, the Century Career Center Media Students are creating original & unique commercials that will be available through the Christmas In the Park Facebook page found at “facebook.com/ChristmasInthePark”.
Before you go, some things to know:
- BIG CHANGE: Entrance into the park has returned to High Street--the normal entrance into Spencer Park. As you enter Christmas In the Park, drive slowly, and don’t pull over in any parking areas. People MUST remain in their vehicles for their own safety.
- Pedestrians are permitted only on Mondays and Tuesdays. Spencer Park will be closed to vehicle traffic on those two nights. Visitors that wish to drive-thru should attend on Wednesday through Sunday nights.
- Free will donations are gratefully accepted at any one of the 3 locations available throughout the park.
- No volunteers will be on duty.
- Holospex are being sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Kokomo and the Cass County Community Foundation. Holospex will be will be handed out at the Light Up Logansport Parade and a supply will also be available for pick up at the Logansport Parks Office, 1701 Dividend Dr.
Daytime park users should plan to park their vehicles on the north side of High Street or near the lower pavilion to utilize the park. The Parks Department has requested that park users please stay away from the Christmas décor in the Park. Once again, it could pose a danger due to guy wires as well as electrical wires. We do ask that all daytime walkers please stay on the sidewalk and roadway. Questions can be directed to the Parks Administrator, Janet Fawley at 753-6969 or e-mail at parksadministrator@cityoflogansport.org.
