Uxbridge Optimists Light Up Elgin Park.
Uxbridge and area residents will be able to enjoy the Uxbridge Optimists 2011 Christmas Fantasy Of Lights beginning tomorrow evening December 16, 2011. Over the past few years Elgin Park has come alive with the Fantasy of Lights for Christmas thanks to this organization that does great work with our local youth.
Starting in 2008 The Uxbridge Optimists turned Elgin Park into a Fantasy of Lights with the help of members of the local business community and local groups and organizations.
Each group is given a 25 foot by 25 foot area to erect their display. Starting in early December the groups begin to set up their displays in order to be ready for the official opening in mid December. The park is lite up every night from mid December to Christmas.
Donations from visitors to the park during the event support the Optimists work with local youth
