Belton Lake Christmas Light Show &
Dinner at Schoepf’s BBQ - NEW!
Monday, December 9, $27 pp
Depart SCPL 4:45 p.m.; Return 9 p.m.
It’s Christmas time and that
means colorful, bright, twinkling lights and
plenty of them. The Belton Lake outdoor
recreational area presents its 16th annual
Nature in Lights display to usher in the holiday season. It
takes four months of work to put together over a hundred
holiday-inspired and patriotic light displays, spanning the
5.5 miles drive-through event along Belton Lake shore areas.
Some displays are as much as 40 ft. high. Other displays range
from the small, using only one strand, to the grand finale, a
500-foot-long tunnel of lights. It’s a must see event.
Before we get to the lights, we will have a mouth-watering
buffet of BBQ brisket and smoked turkey accompanied by cole
slaw and potato salad, pickles, onions and peppers. Dessert
will be home-baked cherry cobbler and ice cream.
It’s a fun-filled evening for just kicking back, enjoying the food
and savoring the music and lights of the season – plus you don’t
have to drive! Deadline to purchase tickets is December 5.
Ticket cost includes transportation, dinner and entry to the
light show.
