This year the event will be open for viewing every evening during December. Santa has promised to stop by each Saturday evening and many nights additional entertainment will be offered.

Spirit Sponsorships are available for $20, which will go toward the purchase of a new strand of LED commercial lighting.  (All lighting displays will now have this newer lighting system.)

Checks may be made out to Friends of Ouabache State Park and sent to Attn: Spirit Sponsor, Friends of Ouabache State Park, 4930 E St Rd. 201, Buffton, IN 46714. Information should include how many strands of lights to be sponsored and the exact spelling of the sponsor (to be listed in  the Discover magazine event program).

Deadline for sponsorship is Nov. 1st.

In addition sponsorships for the actual lighting exhibit also are available. Sponsors will receive ads in the “Wonderland of Lights” section of the December Discover Ouabache online magazine.

Levels of sponsorship are: Platinum: $500 (8 1/2 x 11 ad); Gold: $250 (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 ad); Silver: $100 (2 inch banner ad) and Bronze: $50 (2  inch seasonal greeting). For more information or to arrange to be a sponsor call Kathy Schwartz at 260-341-1971.
