Way of Lights Tree Display
Friday, November 18 - Sunday, January 1
Each day of the Way of Lights, volunteers greet visitors who come to admire the beautiful trees within the tree display. If you like to smile and be pleasant to people, this is a great opportunity for you! No experience necessary. This is indoors and all ages are welcome to volunteer here. Volunteers under the age of 16 do need a parent, guardian or other responsible adult with them.
