Hundreds of families made for a few thousand attendees enjoying holiday music/dancing entertainment from Mark Boling Trio, Farragut High School’s double state championship dance team and from Mike Snodgrass & Sarah Jean during Countdown to Light the Park in Founders Park at Campbell Station Monday night, Nov. 25.
After the entertainment, Farragut Mayor Ron Williams pulled the candy-stripped switch to “Light the Park.” While Santa, Mrs. Claus and some elves dropped by, emcee was local meteorologist Mike Witcher. A handful of vendors were on hand while children also enjoyed crafts, games and dropping letters into Santa’s mailbox.
The lights, extending to Ralph McGill Plaza at the corner of North Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike, will be lit each evening through New Year’s Day Wednesday, Jan. 1.
“There will be entertainment and giveaways from local vendors, as well as food trucks, at Founders Park many evenings through (Monday) Dec. 23,” a Town press release stated.
A new addition to Light the Park festivities this season is a 53-foot-by-33-foot synthetic ice rink that will operate through Wednesday, Jan. 4, at Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza. For more information and/or make skating reservations, visit townoffarragut.org
