Cambridge Christmas at Dickens
Village
WHO:
YOU!! (we
hope!)
WHAT:
Christmas Lights Show and Dickens Victorian
Village walking tour
WHEN: Saturday,
December 18th
3:00pm - 9:30pm
WHERE: Historic
Downtown Cambridge, OH
WHY: We are trying
to build up a Geocaching Community in SE Ohio and figured what
better way than to invite you all out to see one of the most
beautiful courthouses in the region and a really unique holiday
display.
Guernsey County celebrates Christmas with a stunning sound
& light presentation at the County Courthouse and life-sized
Charles Dickens character displays scattered about historic
downtown Cambridge. Come join us to admire the beauty, celebrate
the season, swap cache talk with new and old friends, and find
approximately 70 temp
caches along the way.
The event cache and all of it's temps are 100% wheelchair and
stroller accessible. There is free on-street parking
available and I have waypointed 4 parking lots nearby. If you
choose to walk the route I have laid out, you can expect a walk of
about 1 mile on flat sidewalks. The light show at the
courthouse begins each evening at 5:30, so if you arrive between
3-4 you will have time to visit the Dickens Village displays and
grab a bite to eat before the light show begins. I will add
the temps to this cache page in about a week and I will also have
printed copies at the starting point for those who want
them.
The Dickens Victorian Village is a unique walking tour
experience along historic Wheeling Avenue in downtown Cambridge,
Ohio.
The classic Dickens-era scenes -- 70 in all! -- are comprised
of nearly 185 life-like figures and are placed at each of the 40
historic lampposts and benches between 6th and 11th Streets on
Wheeling Avenue, as well as in first and second-story windows
throughout Cambridge's downtown. In addition, Dickens figures
"stroll" around the Courthouse lawn, appear at the Byesville Scenic
Railway depot, and even skate around at downtown's main
intersection. The scenes enhance Cambridge's outstanding 1800s
architecture, eclectic shopping, charming streetscape, and
eateries.
We
are going to supply some coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies for
participants, so bring family and friends out
for a nice evening to see some local beauty and share some cheer!!
I have attached a youtube video clip from a previous year to give
you an idea of what we'll be enjoying... :-)
