E-TOWN'S CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK 2008

Each Holiday Season the merchants, churches, schools and various organizations in Elizabethtown and Hardin County erect Christmas displays in the park around Freeman Lake. This has been an on-going traditional celebration for the past 18 years.

Some of the lighted displays extend into the lake, while others are actually set-up on little barges on the lake itself. It seems there are more and more displays each year. They run the gamut from religious to secular, traditional to commercial and even a few that don't really fall into a specific category. Tonight we took a little drive down to the lake and snapped a few pictures. Although there isn't any snow and the temperatures have ranged from the 40's to the 60's, it felt a bit more like Christmas when we drove around the lake and looked at these displays. A touch of snow, however, sure would go a long way toward boosting that feeling of Christmas. Although these photos don't really do justice to the displays, we hope they impart to some degree and in some small measure, a feeling of the Elizabethtown holiday cheer to you from us.
