CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK -2004
Christmas in the Park - 2004 was a HUGE success! Several hundred people each day came to ride the train, view the lighting displays, and visit the petting zoo. We believe Charley Brown Park has much to offer Flora and the surrounding area.
This is the first of what we hope will become an annual event that continues to grow and expand.
Everyone that is involved has expressed enthusiasm over making this a special event and looking forward to even more participation from other groups and organizations next year.
A special THANK YOU to ALL the sponsors!! Click here for a complete list of sponsors.
P.S. - The Encore of Christmas in the park was held Dec. 17 -18 and although the temperatures were VERY COLD, there were many people who came out to ride the train one last time in 2004!! Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to enjoy the lights and the train at Christmas in the Park!
