Remember when we use to visit the Holiday Lights, Magical Nights up in Decorah? It has been three long holiday seasons since we've been able to do that and I have certainly missed it. When I heard about Holiday Lights at the Lake I was so excited.
This inaugural event took place at the West Overland Campground near us and had over 30 professional displays. They have been open since Thanksgiving and will run through New Year's Eve. Thursday-Tuesday, you will drive through and it will cost the following: $10/car, $20 large van/limo, $30 mini bus, or $50 charter/party bus. On Wednesdays, you can walk for $5/person. All proceeds of the event benefit the Bird House, Hospice Home of Johnson County.
Our original plan was to attend on Wednesday, December 15 but that night didn't turn out the way we all expected. Thankfully, not a lot of damage in our neck of the woods. Instead, we went on Wednesday, December 22 and also got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Overall, I was pretty impressed. The displays were really nice but it was the volunteers. They were like a well-oiled machine, directing traffic, helping hundreds of cars to park, helping people stay on the right path, etc. We will definitely be back!
