Each year, Milt Dunnell Field (also known as The Flats) comes alive with animated light displays, including nativity scenes, dinosaurs, reindeer and more from 5 to 11 p.m. nightly.
Enjoy the display on foot or by car -- or by horse-drawn wagon rides on December 14, 15, 21, 22 and 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. -- donations are always appreciated as you wait by the sponsor sign for your turn! Parking is available at the north end of Milt Dunnell Field. Please note that there are two steps of average height into the wagon.
WinterLights relies on community support to keep the Christmas season bright -- add your name to a list of community-minded organizations and individuals!
