Our friends down in Gallipolis have put together a stunning Christmas display at the city park again this year. If you’re looking for someplace close to home to get you into the holiday spirit, this would be a great option. I visited Sunday night and it was a sight to behold despite the drizzling rain and cold. Local churches take turns offering a live nativity and free refreshments. Businesses and organizations decorated scores of trees that line the sidewalks. Santa’s house is there and they have some of the lights timed to music. You can drive all the way around the park’s perimeter but you’ll be missing out if you don’t park and walk around. Here are some vaguely blurry phone pictures to illustrate.
While you’re in town, there are a few really good restaurants and some nice antique malls including one across the street from the park. There’s also a box in the park where you can donate to help with this event.
