    No Holiday in Lights This Year

    Bummer

    The Warren County Park District says the high cost of providing electricity means no Holiday in Lights Show for 2023.

    The show and the 5K Run/Walk were moved to Armco Park from Sharon Woods in 2022.

    Warren County Parks District staff and staff with The Alleen Company, which produces the light show, say they agree the new location has great potential, “However, a nearly fourfold increase in the cost of providing electricity for the lights has made the current way of doing things unsustainable.”
    I wonder why the electricity costs have gone up 4x?

    Like goreds2 said, bummer.

    When our kids were little, it was an annual thing for us. Later on, the hosts of the show would would have one night where you could walk the light path in the park instead of driving and my wife and I did that.

    With the power cost thing, the only thing I can think of is cost of renting generators and running power out to the lights rates went up. Dunno.
    The rose goes in the front, big guy.

    Armco is nicer and easier to get in and out of anyway.

    That’s is a bummer. Hopefully Light up Middletown doesn’t follow suit

    Greed.

    The now U-shaped income graph, when it should be an upside-down U shape.

    Is this a trick question?
