Christmas on the Square in Danville, Indiana The Switch for the Downtown Christmas Lights
White lights were strung from the elegant Hendricks County Courthouse to the various businesses across the street. On the lawn sat an unlit Christmas tree.
Now, this is really cute and something I hadn’t seen a small Indiana town do before–they had a giant light switch next to the unlit tree in the “Off” position. One lucky kid would get to meet Santa and help him flick the switch.
In a flash, all the lights turned on and bathed the Square in Christmas cheer! We ooh-ed and aah-ed with the rest of ’em.
Things to Do Around Danville Square
But that wasn’t all! There was also free ice skating–shoe rental was just $1. You could bring your own and skate away! It wasn’t actual ice. Composed of interlocking hard plastic-like pieces, I’ve heard it is what hockey players practice on.
Kid #1 had so much fun–even though he spent more time falling than actually skating! Even so, I don’t think he stopped smiling for a minute (and he was out there for more than half an hour)!
Inside the beautiful Hendricks County Courthouse were “Reindeer Games.” These were just different skill games that, once completed, enabled little ones to trade in a ticket for a prize. Kid #2, however, favored the live Nativity above all the rest.
More than the people, this one also had chickens, lambs, a donkey, and even a camel! He was so excited about that–and kept saying, “Horse!” This is where he wanted to hang out while big brother was ice skating!
