Weather effects Candlelight Tour and Christmas in the Park events

Friday, December 1, 2006

Friday's Candlelight Tour at Fort Scott has been canceled. However, Friday ticket holders may attend on Saturday from 5-9 p.m.

The Stocking Stuffer event is still running as scheduled at Arnold Arena, 2108 S. Horton, Fort Scott Community College. A wide variety of gift items and crafts are available, in addition to baked goods and "Old Fort Barbecue." A feature of The Stocking Stuffer is the recent book, "Historic Reflections of Bourbon County." Local historians Fred Campbell Jr. and Don Miller, have compiled over 500 previously unpublished photographs that illustrate the county's history from 1842 until the present time.

The hours of The Stocking Stuffer are different than the tour, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and noon until 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Christmas in the Park, a holiday festival organized by the Gunn Park Committee, has been postponed until Saturday, Dec. 9 due to inclement weather and to ensure the safety of everyone involved, event planners said.

The event was originally scheduled for this Saturday at Gunn Park.
