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 7th 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 travel along the illuminated path 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. Sip on a beverage or snack as you cozy
up by the campfire and visit with the Parks Director. Santa will once
again pay us a visit from the North Pole!
New for 2019: Due to its overwhelming popularity, online
registration is required for this event. If you do not have internet
access, call the Nature Center at 548-0165. A “winter wagon ride” will
offer participants a new experience through the winter woods traveling
from the new parking area. Don’t forget to visit with our
regional partner, Historic Bear’s Mill, during their luminary walk
(held Dec 6th) to receive your coupon card for both giftshop locations
(details at our website)!
Don’t forget about our 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. Please bring a votive candle (or
two) as a donation for next year’s path!
For information on this event or to register your family today, check
