Light Up Wyoming, which occurs every December with the lighting of luminaries throughout the streets of Wyoming, will celebrate its 25^th anniversary on Sunday, December 11, 2011.This Wyoming tradition is organized by the Junior Woman’s Club of Wyoming and the proceeds from the sale of the luminary kits are going to Wyoming Youth Services, this year’s primary beneficiary, and the JWC Foundation. JWC started this tradition as a way to bring neighbors, streets and the community together to “light up the night” and to support local charitable organizations. This citywide event is also in junction with the Holiday Open House at the Wyoming Civic Center which offers horse drawn carriage rides, holiday music, special treats and a visit from the Cincinnati Zoo.

Light Up kits can be purchased for $12.00 and include 20 candles, 20 bags, sand and instructions. They will be sold at the following days, times and locations:

December 3^rd:    9:00am-4:00pm - High School Tennis Court Lot
