Opening night is Wednesday November 25, from 6-9:30 p.m., and the display is open every Thursday through Sunday from November 26-December 13, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. From December 17-25 it is open every night from 6 to 9:30 p.m. 

Carriage rides through the light dhow will be November 25 and December 11-12 by reservation only. Masks are required during the carriage rides. Contact Cindy (419.203.1413) to reserve a carriage ride time.​ ​Santa Claus will be at the light dhow every Saturday night. 

The cost is $5 per car to drive through and $10 a car for a carriage ride. To access the display, enter at Fox Road Gate 4. Decals (limited amount) are also available for purchase for $15 to enjoy the light show unlimited times.

The Van Wert County 4-H Exchange group is composed of youths ages 13-18 from all areas of the county. This event is a fundraiser for the group to help support the cost to host out-of-state 4-H members or travel to other states during the summer. The 4-Hers experience the host club’s culture and lifestyle, build friendships, and learn more about other areas of the country, making memories that last forever.
