Patriot's Park, Kings Mountain, North Carolina
to enjoy some more Christmas decorations
December 21, 2023

Lee and Karen Duquette strolled through Patriots Park where over a million lights transformed the park into a storybook wonderland full of color and light! (It was amazing, but hard to tell that there was over a million lights though) This family favorite attraction is dedicated to Katie and Grady Costner who originally designed the lights. It was spread out quite a bit.
