Events Around Town: December 2016
Lions Festival of Lights
A less known festival of lights than Zoolights, but that’s why we love it! It’s located in Confederation Park and if you get there before dark you can experience it by snowshoe or cross country ski. It’s a free activity and it’s also green like the way we build our Excel Homes. There are 300,000 LED lights!
