Thanksgiving Weekend

Most people's minds are on family and friends gathering for Thanksgiving dinner. After that, it's all about Black Friday and getting the best deals. Shopping is not that appealing to me, let alone fighting a bunch of crazed shoppers.  If you're looking for something to do on Friday, other than shopping, you might want to consider this:
Archbold's 
PARADE OF LIGHTS
Celebrate the Holidays with a family-friendly Parade!
Enjoy the many floats, all lit with lots of lights; many of them animated!
Friday, Nov 25, 2011   6:30 pm  Downtown Archbold

Granted, this is not in Defiance but I consider it "around Defiance"! If you've never been to this parade, now is your chance since the weather is going to be great. The high is 58, with a low of 46. Not too bad for Northwest Ohio in November. We haven't been there for a few years but I'm hoping to take the grandkids this year! You'll know you're in Northwest Ohio when you see the John Deere tractor decorated in holiday lights!

After the parade, enjoy the Festival of Lights.
FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS  November 25 ~ January 1, 2012
Travel through Ruihley Park after dark to see the many lit displays, celebrating the season!
There is no cost to drive or walk through the display!
Directions: St. Rt. 66 (N. Defiance St.), West on Williams St., Archbold, Ohio
