Candy Cane Lane
Help Us Grow Our Candy Cane Lane at Paul Bunyan Park!
This feature was recently added to the First City of Lights Display in 2023 and the response we received is people want more… so we are making this offer available again for 2024!
Please consider sponsoring a 6’H x 5’6’W Crossed Candy Cane display! These displays would be added along the trail by the water retention pond just northeast of the Tourist Information Center in Paul Bunyan Park. This is a great opportunity to add additional lights and encourage visitors to walk and explore the park’s great trail system.
