Lake Shawnee lights up holiday
12:10 a.m. Monday, November 26, 2007
Lake Shawnee is all a glow.
Last weekend TARC lit up their winter wonderland.
On this two-mile drive, you can enjoy hundreds of holiday displays, fun animation and holiday music.
TARC is holding a contest to see if guests can guess the number of Christmas lights in the entire Winter Wonderland.
49 News Dana Davis and Dawn Cummings from TARC talk about what that organization does and who your money can help. Watch video interview.
The person who comes the closest without going over will win a weekend stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, Kan. for a family of four.
The celebration of lights is open every day from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. You can enter the display at the Lake Shawnee Campgrounds.
Last year, the event drew 55,000. Organizers hope for the same this year.

A small donation of $7 a car is requested at the gate.
The money goes to support TARC, which provides case management, training, retirement services, technology services, work services and day education services to people with developmental disabilities in Shawnee County.
Attendees can also purchase a star for the Star of Life display. People can dedicate a star to honor someone who is special in your life or who has passed away.
