DCP Walkin’ in
a Winter Wonderland Coming Soon
This holiday season join Darke County Parks for an evening stroll
through our winter wonderland at Shawnee Prairie Preserve! On Saturday,
December 2nd from 6-9pm, there will be over 450 luminaries lighting
your way along the wooded trails, allowing for a peaceful winter’s
night in nature. As you hike along the illuminated trail toward the log
house and blacksmith shop, you can enjoy the crisp air, the bright
stars, and perhaps the light crunch of snow on this early December
evening.
In the Log House the fire will warm you while enjoying pioneer music of
Christmas past as you relax in the comforts of the 18th century. Stop
and warm up by the campfire and visit with the Parks Director. Holiday
crafts for all ages will be available in the Nature Center to fuel the
memories of this staff-favorite event. The Nature Center and gift shop
will be open offering a selection of unique gifts or that perfect
stocking stuffer! Santa will once again pay us a visit from the
North Pole!
New this year for the 10th anniversary, we will offer an extended path
option for those who can’t get enough of the luminary trails. Don’t
forget about our new Snowman Decorating Contest! Local businesses
and non-profits decorate their own “snowman” to compete in a people’s
choice award! Call the Nature Center today to participate in this
great way to advertise your business/non-profit to our estimated 1,000
luminary visitors!
Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland is the perfect FREE event for the whole
family to celebrate the winter season. Don’t forget to bring a votive
candle (or two) as a donation for next year’s path!
