WHO: YOU!! (we hope!)
WHAT: Christmas Lights Show and Dickens Victorian Village walking tour
WHEN: Saturday, November 10th, 2018 3:00pm - 8:00pm
WHERE: Historic Downtown Cambridge, OH
WHY: We had SO much fun doing this the last seven years! We have can't wait to see you there!
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 discover the beauty of Christmas, Cambridge style, along the way. It is the 13th season for the character displays and the courthouse lightshow has been displayed annually since 2008; each year they have both been growing and improving. This year, the ever-popular carriage rides have returned so you can see the holiday speldor in style.
Stop by the tables at GZ for coffee, cookies, cocoa, and cache talk on the porch of US Bank next to the County Courthouse. We will have boxes for discovering and moving travelers and lots of time to enjoy each other's company.
The event cache and all of the Dickens displays are 100% wheelchair and stroller accessible. There is free on-street parking available and 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.
The Dickens Victorian Village is a unique walking tour experience along historic Wheeling Avenue in downtown Cambridge, Ohio.
The classic Dickens-era scenes -- about 95 in all! -- are comprised of about 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 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... :-)
