CANCELED due to Tornado Relief efforts.
While we are sad to hear of the cancellation of this event, we wanted to include The One West Winter Wonderland event in this week's Around Lou. Their goal is to bring a fun, family-friendly, and free light show to West Louisville and we hope to see them at Shawnee Park for Winter Wonderland in 2022! We would also like to thank them for their efforts in helping with the Western KY Tornado Relief. Happy Holidays to you all at One West.
