Now is the season for a lights field trip!
Photo copyright by P. Winberg, Canadajpkwitter@morguefile.com
Driving home from downtown, I have already seen many lights up.
This time of year, a really fun thing to do is a Christmas lights field trip. You can bring a freind, a spouse, your Mom, or more than one other person.
Drive around and enjoy the beautiful holiday lights all around Bowling Green. It's a relaxing and wonderful (and pretty cheap!) way to spend part of an evening.

You can also enjoy lights and lit-up rides at Beech Bend, too.
