We also were asked about our ABC Float that we have every year. Because our group puts on the event and gives out the prizes, the ABC Group Float does not get judged. We have our Float just for the joy of having it in the Parade~!!
We encourage everyone to bring your families to the Park to enjoy it this holiday season!! Especially any out of town guests!! Here are some FUN FACTS to share!!
- This year there are OVER 500,000 lights in the Park!!
- This dream began in 2008 by our ABC President Harry K and his late wife Becki!! It started with 7 trees and has grown to over 200 trees this year!!
- The beautiful Brand New bathrooms in the Park was a vision from our friends the Berlin Farmer and Artist Market. All the money for them came from Community and individual Donations!!
- The entire Park was decorated by all Volunteers!!
Once again Berlin, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season!! Your Achieving a Better Community Group!
Set up for the Light the Park event began in October with endless hours of creativity and work.
Adoptions began on October 25.
By the night of the lighting, about 180 trees were adopted and decorated by families of loved ones who are now treasured memories for them.
