Darke County Parks
DCP presents Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland
Darke County Parks kick off the holiday season with their annual
Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland event on December 4th, 5th and 6th. This
event is a favorite of the staff and public alike, and is a wonderfully
peaceful start to the holiday season. While we can't all gather in
celebration the way we had hoped, Darke County Parks is excited to
offer a brand-new take on this classic event!
This year, the Winter Wonderland will be a Covid-safe auto tour at
Shawnee Prairie Preserve. While we will miss the luminary walk through
the woods, this will be a wonderful alternative for 2020. Instead of
only three hours on one evening, this year's event will be offered
Friday (12/4) through Sunday (12/6) from 6p-9p each night. You choose
when to visit!
Each night, staff will be passing out a take-home craft kit to the
first 65 children. Wave to Santa and the elves as you drive by the Log
House and Blacksmith shop. Don’t forget your letter to Santa, there
will be a drive by mailbox!
As part of the annual luminary event, Darke County Parks are taking
entries for the snowman decorating contest. The snowmen will be well
lit and are a great opportunity to advertise your community group,
business, non-profit, church or scout troop! The contest itself will
take place virtually on Facebook and Instagram. Followers will vote for
their favorite snowman by 'liking' their favorite snowman!
