Minonk sets date for luminaria display

Monday, November 22, 2004 Posted 8:30 p.m. by Cathy McKay
The annual Minonk Luminaria Display is scheduled for Saturday, December 18, 2004 with a rain date of Sunday, December 19th. It is an opportunity to meet with new neighbors and with those you haven't seen for awhile, and a time to enjoy the holiday spirit.

All of the order forms will be distributed in November. If residents of Minonk don't receive them, order forms are still available at the following businesses: Cunningham Candies, City Hall and www.minonktalk.com.

The deadline for your order is December 6th and to place an order residents can drop off completed order forms at Cathy McKay's home, 626 Locust St. or leave a written note or a phone message with the amount of luminaries wanted, their name, address, and phone number. The cost for a kit with 10 luminaries is $7, for 20 luminaries is $14, or for 30 luminaries is $21. Make checks payable to Minonk Luminaries Display.

The price of the luminaries covers the complete kit, including the candles, paper bags, limestone and instructions. An average lot will use 10 luminaries; corner lots will use approximately 20 luminaries. Ideally luminaries should be placed 10 feet apart. Pick up is December 11th from 10 a.m. until 12 noon at the corner of 4th & Chestnut (white small building - the old Uftring Automotive Building).

If you cannot pick up your kit please make arrangements for someone else to do so during the designated time. We hope the community wishes to continue with this event and that it will grow and we welcome anyone wishing to volunteer to please feel free to contact us.
