Village sets ‘Christmas in the Park’ event

WILLSHIRE — “Christmas in the Park,” to be held in the village of Willshire, is quickly approaching. Plan now to bring family and friends and enjoy the sights and sounds of the season.

Those who stroll through the park will see a live Nativity and luminaries lighting the pathway. They will also be able to take part in many several activities, including carriage rides, making Christmas crafts, and stringing foods for the birds to enjoy.

Those who participate will hear beautiful Christmas music and be able to listen to readings of favorite holiday stories. They will also be able to enjoy popcorn and hot chocolate, as well as homemade soups, sandwiches, and cookies.

This event is a great way to prepare for and celebrate the season of Christmas. Plan now to join in on this time of fun.
