First I'd like to explain my inspiration for this endeavor.
Hope, enlightenment, determination, and perseverance - As we head into another winter of the pandemic, I wish I could wrap these qualities up in a pretty package and hand them out as gifts to everyone in my community to assist folks in being better equipped to endure another chapter of this challenging era.
Since I can't offer a state-of-mind as a gift, instead I'd like to offer an abundance of one of the most impactful symbols of all of those things:
LIGHT!
Whether an eternal flame, or a lamp in the window, lights aren't merely a SYMBOL, they are a SOURCE of hope. They brighten our moods, elevate our spirits, and recharge our souls.
This winter I offer my community THE GIFT OF LIGHT in the form of an uplifting, colorful, vibrant, whimsical holiday light display / experience / hangout space.
The Kenton Club has generously agreed to allow me to use their large patio space to design and build an outdoor gathering space filled with illuminated, Sugar Town-style candy-themed, holiday decorations.
Sugar Town Illuminated is a celebration of so many of the basic facets of life we now realize we can't take for granted: community, music, dancing, freedom, and holiday fun!
