Beginning on the evening of November 26 and ending on the evening of January 1st (2013), Dickinson Festival of Lights invite you to enjoy their holiday celebration! A community of retirees, business men and women, and high school students has been getting together since 2003 to put together this amazing spectacle of lights in Paul Hopkins Park.
The festival originally began in a different location in Dickinson, but with the increased popularity and growth of lighting displays, they had to find a much larger place. Now a tradition in Dickinson, many families flock to Paul Hopkins Park to see what is new every year, take photos, and leisurely walk through the myriad of holiday lights. While visiting the festival you can hear holiday music, enjoy a hot cup of cocoa or a snack, purchase a blinky-light trinket, decorate a cookie, or visit with Santa Claus! This local attraction is definitely a labor of love, and there is NO admission charge.
Because of the festival’s popularity, parking started to become an issue at Paul Hopkins Park, so a FREE shuttle bus service was started to help get people in and out to enjoy the lights without a hassle. You can park free of charge at the Dickinson Plaza Shopping Center (Exit 19-Hwy 517) I-45 feeder Road. The shuttle runs at regular intervals and Dickinson Police Officers usually help with traffic control. You can find more information about parking HERE.
Many years ago, I took this photo of the men very close to my heart. The winding tunnel of lights was my son’s favorite section at that time. When he was much younger, he was brave enough to tell Santa his “secret wishes”.
For more information about the Dickinson Festival of Lights, please visit their website: www.dickinsonfestivaloflights.org .When you visit, please look for the donation boxes and help support this free attraction so the displays may continue to delight both young and old for many years to come.

A Salute to Veterans in the Bay Area
Not many people know I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran. I am pleased to know there are many Veterans Day celebrations scheduled in our area, so I have put together a list of the many different activities planned in the Bay Area either on Veterans Day, or before Veterans Day. As you will see, there are a variety of ways you can help pay tribute to those who have served in the armed forces and their families.

Davis Sportsplex, located at 1251 League City Parkway, at 10 am.
