Feeling Festive?

Then you need to check out www.festivespaces.com and see all the holiday events, attractions and savings going on throughout Lake County. Right here in Zion we have the Festival of Lights with Kringle’s Kingdom gleaming with 75 hand-decorated displays, Santa’s Cottage and dozens of animated characters to delight young and old. Don’t miss a ride on the Holly Trolley to see the lighted holiday beauty of downtown and Midwestern Regional Medical Center or consider the Victorian elegance of a tour through the Shiloh House, a 23-room mansion open throughout December.

The Festival of Lights is offered at no charge to residents and visitors alike and for details on the hours and events, please visit www.cityofzion.com

Once you’ve enjoyed the magic of the season here in our hometown, you might want to venture a little further. The Festive Spaces campaign highlights attractions like the Cuneo Museum, Wonderland Light Show and Santa’s Enchanted Castle, Gurnee Mills and Key Lime Cove, but also historic tours, local events and charming places to eat and shop. But one of the best surprises in the campaign is the number of coupons and discounts listed throughout the site, including businesses you’re probably visiting already.

The City of Zion is a partner in the campaign to encourage local spending during the holiday season. Our businesses need your support during these difficult times so if you are considering shopping for your holiday turkey, baking goods, holiday decorations, cards, gifts or even gift cards please consider places right here at home. For additional local coupons please check out www.goflo.com and the Zion Benton News and Bargaineer. Both are filled with savings and ideas for all your holiday needs. Happy Holidays to one and all and no matter how you celebrate remember all things are possible if you simply Bee-lieve!
