🎄✨ A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Trivia Night Community ✨🎄

What a night.

To everyone who gathered with us for the Olde Tyme Christmas Presents: Festival of Lights Trivia Night Fundraiser — thank you. Truly.

From the laughter between rounds to the competitive cheers at the final question, the room was filled with energy, generosity, and community spirit. Seeing teams dressed up, tables decorated, friends strategizing, and neighbors reconnecting is exactly what this event is all about.

Because of you —
đź’ˇ New light displays will continue to be added
🌟 Existing favorites will shine even brighter
🎄 The Festival of Lights will continue growing as we head into its 5th year in 2026

We are incredibly grateful to:
• Every trivia team who showed up ready to compete
• Our generous business who sponsored a round of trivia
• The businesses and individuals who provided our auction and raffle items
• The Fayette County CEO students who served food
• The Vandalia Moose lodge 1447 for hosting the event
• And especially our Olde Tyme Christmas Presents: A Festival of Lights Fundraising Committee members who dedicate countless volunteer hours to making nights like this possible

Events like this remind us that the Festival of Lights is more than just decorations in the park — it’s about community, tradition, and coming together to create something meaningful for Vandalia and for those who visit during the holiday season.

Thank you for supporting this tradition.
Thank you for your generosity.
Thank you for helping us keep the lights shining bright.

We can’t wait to do it again. 🎄🧠✨

Can you believe ... so far ...

147 Christmas displays. 🎄
117 In Memory of Angels. ❤️
And Festival of Lights keeps growing!

All proceeds from tonight’s Trivia Night will go toward Festival of Lights 2026. What started as a simple idea to put lights in the trees around the circle drive in Rogier Park has turned into a must-see community tradition.

We are incredibly thankful for the community’s continued support, generosity, and love for Festival of Lights. We are so glad you love it as much as we do — and we can’t wait to keep growing it together.
