Waynetown opens Christmas in the Park

Waynetown Christmas in the Park volunteer Kevin Howey opens the fourth annual lighting ceremony Saturday at Rev. Guy Tremaine Park by reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to a host of families in their vehicles. About 400 visitors regularly attend the event, scaled back this year due to coronavirus concerns. The early December tradition saw dozens of families watch the lighting ceremony from a distance before driving through more than 60 light-based holiday displays around the perimeter of the park. Santa even made a special stop at the park Saturday, heralded by fireworks to mark his entrance. The event was sponsored by CVL Radio, Campbell Ag Service, Town of Waynetown, Waynetown Merchants Association, Fountain Trust, Busse Excavating, Waynetown Utilities, Forman Blasters and the Christmas in the Park committee.
