Happy Thanksgiving! Let there be Lights on the Lake

I promised to walk through Lights on the Lake last week to share photographs of the festive displays after night fell. I chose Wednesday, which was the night the display on the shores of Onondaga Lake was open to dogs and their walkers. I was between my main day and a night obligation two blocks…

Walkers, welcome to this year’s Lights on the Lake

My library colleagues and I have been watching them ready the displays for this year’s Lights on the Lake for months now. No exaggeration. The extravaganza’s annual walking event is tonight on the shores of Onondaga Lake. Wednesday is the annual dog walk event. The paid admission drive through nights start Thursday. It runs through…

Can you hear the bells?

As we walk on our work breaks along the shore trail at Onondaga Lake Park, we’re reminded day by day … Yes, the entrance booths went up on Friday. Soon it will be time for the annual Lights on the Lake. Thursday, Nov. 15 is the first drive-through date, for those of you keeping score…

Lights on the Lake takes on a different feel this year

The Lights on the Lake stroll is scheduled for Monday night. The dog walk comes Tuesday. Wednesday night, it’s open for vehicles until the New Year. This I was assured from a quick lunchtime walk during a crisp noontime this week. The past two years, my dear wife Karen and I have taken in the…

Action, camera, Lights?

My dear wife Karen and I are fans of Lights on the Lake. The past several years, we’ve taken the chance to stroll along the path at Onondaga Lake Park when they’ve opened the annual blazing-lights tradition along the trails on the shore. We’ve even taken Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle. Now that I work…
