We’re always interested in continuing to grow our display and anything we run out of room for, we try to put it in the park as a filler ! Feel free to send us a message if you have anything !

Do you have any old or broken outdoor decorations? Wire frames. Lights out. Etc. Send them our way. We would love to bring them back to life and display them either in our yard or in Callaway Park as part of the Christmas at Callaway displays this year !

We’re looking for input from YOU ! This year we’re purchasing an FM Transmitter so you can hear the songs inside your vehicles as you drive by. With that, we’re looking at expanding our current song selection and making some new sequences to one or two new songs ! Comment your favorite Christmas song and the top two will be added to this year’s display !

(Songs we currently use are Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Santa clause is comin to town - Springsteen, Do you wanna build a snowman, Where are you Christmas - Faith, the Polar Express, and All I Want for Christmas - Mariah)

Who remembers We Care Park in Kokomo ? I can remember as both a kid and an adult being in awe of what we were looking at. Not just the abundance of lights and displays, but the amount of community involvement it took to do something like that annually for almost 30 years. From people donating lights, displays, bulbs, hardware, fixing broken things, or just donating their time to feel better about being apart of something bigger than themselves. It took a dedicated group to make it magical every year. Things like We Care Park can never be truly replicated but they can be inspiration and goal-worthy for other communities.
We’d like to take a quick second and connect to those who might have had the same feeling. As people who buy wayyyy more Christmas decorations than they should, we know all too well how expensive they can be and how quickly you can be staring at $1,000’s of dollars for a handful or 2 of quality weather resistant decorations. This year, the park is asking for help from our community to continue to improve and grow the Christmas at Callaway light display! There are a few different options to choose from for those that are interested and nothing is too small to help add to the Christmas magic! If you need any more information or to start the process of becoming a sponsor, contact Clay Creekmore at 765-480-1608.
