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.
