After we finished the depo and left Louisiana we were driving back to
Mississippi. It was POURING ~ and COLD. We went
through Tylertown and saw these lights from the road and pulled in ~
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
It is Called
Christmas in the Park ~ Tylertown, MS
Even though it was raining we decided to pay our money and drive through..........it was well worth it.

2009 Holiday Events (November and December)The biggest community event of
its
kind in the area, Tylertown’s Christmas in the Park is a colorful Christmas
display of
millions of lights staged at Holmes Water Park. Over 25,000
visitors enjoy the display
each year - the park is open seven days a week from 6pm to 8:30pm from
Thanksgiving
Day through New Years Eve. Admission: Cars - $5, Commercial Vans -

The drive through the park has attracted visitors from surrounding
communities and is
popular with visitors home for the holidays. From angels and candles
to hundreds of
other displays, the exhibit has been featured in area newspapers and
on television. Many
of the exhibits have special significance such as the W. I. McDonald
family's Old
McDonald Farm display, Ty and Bonnie Harvey's airplane with Santa as a pilot
and Billy
and Linda Johnson's collection of lighted antique cars. The churches
in the county
worked together to purchase Noah’s Ark and have continues to add animals,
two by
two. Every year a different lighted item may be purchased in memory or
in honor of
friends or family.
