Bluffton ‘Wonderland’ on display
Wells County just got a little brighter.
Ouabache State Park in Bluffton is hosting its annual Wonderland of Lights show nightly from 6 to 9 p.m. daily through the end of the year.
Admission to the drive-thru event costs $5 and features a synchronized light show and over 40 displays throughout the route.
There are three different light shows: one on Mondays through Thursdays, another for the weekend and a special edition on Christmas Eve. Each show will take place at the park’s Fire Tower Plaza.
The park will also be accepting letters to Santa Claus until Dec. 20 and promises a response to each letter.
