Giving Back
Presenting a spectacular light display is not all that Light Up is about. With the donations received at the gate and the many business sponsors thru the years, we have planted dozens of trees, helped with electrical updates and recently working with the City and Middletown Youth Soccer and the Ohio Challenge, have started repaving the roads in Smith Park.
We're looking for Volunteers!
The Grandpa Gang is looking for volunteers to help set up the displays! Typically, we work Monday - Friday, 9am - 3pm October 1st to Thanksgiving. If interested, please email us or use our contact form above.
