Stephanie Lemke of Riverhill Farm on River Road, the site of a beloved spectacular Christmas Lights display, with over 150,000 lights this year, was planning to expand the canteen this year to include full meals, but after two years dealing with the fallout from COVID, the Derecho hit in late May.
“I must say we were lucky. We did lose 100 to 150 trees, and two small buildings, and there were some lights that were all tangled up in broken trees that we are leaving until next year,” she said, “but we have still been able to upgrade the display again.”
Somehow, on November 26, all was ready again this year to light up the night sky and begin welcoming people to the display.
Between 5pm and 8pm on weekends up until Christmas, the Riverhill “Flamingo” will be open with mini-donuts and hot chocolate and tickets for tractor drawn wagon rides. The Flamingo will also be open between open every night between Christmas and December 30 this year.
To get to Riverhill Farm, make sure to use Struthadam Road off River Road. Some maps show a connection between Struthadam Road and Hwy 506 but that road is not passable. For further information, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
