DECEMBER 2003 UPDATE
WOW . . .LEMON PARK LIGHTS

WOW!  One word describes it all.  For a city girl who has never been in Pratt for the holidays, WOW clearly defines my first look at the Lemon Park Lights.  Deb Goyen and the City of Pratt have just done an extraordinary job with the array of lights and decorations.  One lap around Lemon park can get anyone excited about the holidays.

 Driving slowly, very slowly, I loved all the various ornaments, assorted lights and detailed decorations. The elves are adorable, especially the larger ones about three-fourths around the park.  The animals are so life-like, and I really liked the creativity around the pond.  The reflection of the dragons on the water immediately grabbed my attention.  After my second lap around (which is a requirement), I think I finally saw everything in its fullest light.

My favorite of all the decorations had to be the hanging strands of white lights.  I felt like I was in an enchanted forest.  I wanted to try to re-create the same thing at my home in Lenexa, but I don't really have the ladder needed.  I guess that it is best to leave this beauty in Pratt.

Now that I have seen it all, I have just one idea.  Pratt needs to add a clear lighted crown to the mix of holiday lights to signify the pageant that you all are so wonderful to support.  Maybe I'm just a little bias, but I think it comes with the job.

WOW.  The Lemon Park lights are beautiful.  EVERYONE ENJOY!
