Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland Luminary Walk

Register
Held the first Saturday in December, this is a favorite of staff and public alike! Wander along the (hopefully) snow-covered trails as you follow over 600+ candle-lit lanterns leading you to the Log House. In and around the Log House, warm yourself by the fire, visit with our pioneer volunteers, and enjoy a seasonal treat! Keep an eye out for the blue "Will o Wisps" leading you to the popular "Woodland Spirits" trail (this portion of trail is darker and may be more difficult to navigate)... who knows what you will encounter! The Nature Center will host a child’s craft as well as gingerbread cookie decorating. The gift shop will be open, offering a selection of unique gifts or that perfect stocking stuffer! 

This is the perfect start to a peaceful holiday season.
Shawnee Prairie will be closed from 4pm and will re-open until 6pm.
Parking listed in the Notes upon registration.

Donations of votive-style candles encouraged to help supply for future events.

Note:

Dress for the weather, as 95% of the event is outdoors. Parking is limited so please carpool if possible.
