Dear Editor:

It was my extreme pride and pleasure to have our driver take my motorcoach through our beautiful Krodel Park Holiday Light Show upon returning from two tours last week; one from Nashville for Opryland Hotel’s Country Christmas on which we had travelers from Charleston, Teays Valley, and Columbus, as well as many of our county residents and the other from a trip to Dayton, Ohio for a dinner theater performance.

In all, we showed off our community pride to 90 of our travelers including the Bend Area, Pomeroy and Middleport, as well as Gallipolis. I called it my “Christmas Trip Surprise” and it was greeted with a round of applause. Our hats are off to Charles Humprheys and his many volunteers who are responsible for this wonderful holiday exhibit. Also, to Lloyd Akers and his West Virginia State Farm Museum workers for another great job.

If you haven’t visited these two fantastic displays, be sure and take the children, grandchildren and possibly invite a shut-in from your church or neighborhood for an evening ride through these fabulous lights and you, as well as they, will be blessed with the Christmas spirit.
