2017 Home for the Holidays

Page 18 2017 Home for the Holidays LINCOLN DAILY NEWS November 22, 2017 The city of Mount Pulaski holds a home decorating contest at Christmas time. The deadline to enter homes is December 6th, so any time after that, a drive around the town will probably yield the opportunity to see some fun and beautiful decorations. All around the county, people decorate with lights, inflatables, wreaths and so much more. Forget having a plan, just grab the treats and point the car in one direction or the other and see where it leads. Now, if you are looking for something structured, we do offer one suggestion. Take a trip out of town to the Folepi’s Winter Wonderland in East Peoria. There is a charge of $10 per vehicle. But if there are four or more in the car, that is a pretty cheap evening (if you don’t count the gas). Folepi’s is a drive thru Christmas light display that has hundreds of thousands of lights in a wide variety of displays. The event runs nightly through December 31st.

Throughout the season, many of these events will be listed in Lincoln Daily News, so keep your eyes open for such announcements in our daily editions. And remember, Christmas is about joy, not obligation, so find that downtime you need, and relax and experience the joy!
