Holiday Light Fantasia Canceled For 2008
One of our favorite annual traditions in Connecticut was to visit Hartford's Holiday Light Fantasia in December. The event has been held in Goodwin Park every year since 1999, except 2005 due to a generator shortage following Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, due to the high operating costs this year's event has been canceled. The website below simply states "We Are Sad To Announce That Holiday Light Fantasia Will Not Take Place This Year."
"The costs of oil, and therefore of operating the show, spiked so radically that the only solution would have been to double the entrance fee - unthinkable at a time of cutbacks, bailouts and unemployment and families worried that celebrating the holidays will be very different and necessarily leaner than in years past,'' a press release sent out last month said. Last year's fee was $12 per car.
If you have a minute, please visit their website to let them know you'll miss them, and want them to return next year. Hope you all come back next year!
