Lights and decorations are going up for the 2009 Festival of Lights in Simpson Park. The Chillicothe Parks Department staff has begun the process of hanging garland and placing lights on the hard-to-reach structures and trees. CMU is installing the entrance arches and setting up the displays.
Many local people are giving their time to help place lights on the many bushes, small trees and bridges in the park. Several local businesses are sending groups of their employees to be a part of this annual holiday tradition. Businesses who have donated funds, services or supplies will be recognized on a large sign to be placed across the tennis court fence in the park. The many individual contributors will be recognized in our local papers.
