We all know that Bentleyville is an amazing Christmas light display and it's right in our own backyard.  However, if you plan on traveling near St. Paul over the holidays, you should visit Holiday Lights In The Park.  It's a great time for the family, and it benefits a very worthwhile cause.

The Saint Paul Police Foundation announced that Holiday Lights in the Park will illuminate St. Paul’s Phalen Park for an eighth straight year. The lights are set to go on Tuesday, November 24 and brighten the season until January 1, 2016.

For 39 evenings the park will be lit up with a wide variety of holiday-themed displays. Visitors tour the displays in the warm confines of their vehicle. More than 20,000 cars have visited Holiday Lights in the Park in each of its seven previous seasons, making it the area’s largest nightly holiday celebration.

Not only is it a great tourist destination, the Saint Paul Police Foundation raises funds at the event to make the St. Paul area safer for citizens and law enforcement officials.

In the past seven years, Holiday Lights has raised nearly $400,000 for a variety of St. Paul and East Metro nonprofits. This year, proceeds from the event will go to support the work of the Saint Paul Police Foundation. Since its inception in 2005, the Foundation has raised nearly $5 million to help support numerous SPPD initiatives including providing lifesaving equipment, Shop with Cops, the Safe City Camera program, Cops and Kids program and a variety of resources for crime victims.

They way I look it is if you're going to be down in that area and are looking for something fun to do with your family, why not go to a place that benefits the community where your family and friends reside?

The cost will be $10 per car and you can get full details on the cause below.
