A holiday tradition

for many families, this walking adventure for all ages celebrates 10 years

of providing the only chance to walk through the dazzling array of Christmas

scenes. This seven-mile outdoor light show consists of more than three

million lights forming many spectacular, larger-than-life lighted displays,

including a giant toy soldier, glittering snowflakes, and a breathtaking

holiday wreath.

Some scenes

stretch longer than a quarter mile, each has its own sound system, and

many include animation.

The honorary

chairmen of the walk are Santa and Mrs. Claus, who invite you to join

one of three walking groups and enjoy the beauty of the show and complimentary

hot chocolate and cookies at the beach pavilion upon route completion.

You can either choose to walk the entire seven-mile route or walk 5 miles

and return on the bus.

Tickets are

$12 per adult and $6 per child (6-12); you can also purchase night walk

glow-in-the-dark sweatshirts and luminary dedication candles, as well

as other prizes for tax-deductible donations. For information phone the

March of Dimes in Columbus at (706) 660-0160 or in Lagrange at (706) 845-0708.
