Dayton's Caravan of Lights! The Downtown Dayton Board is bringing you a brand new event, sure to get you in the holiday spirit whether you're a participant or spectator! Feeling festive & creative? Pull out those strings of lights, gaffer's tape, extension
cords and electric converters, and get busy decorating your car, truck, tractor or trailer! (Plenty of YouTube videos to give you "how to" ideas) On Saturday, December 11th 5:30 - 7:30 PM this unique event we will bring our light caravan to the community!
Our entrants will parade through town with their decorated vehicles.A map of the route will be posted prior to the event so you'll know if the light cruise will be passing by your house. We may not be able to travel on every Dayton street, but hopefully we'll
be close to you! Updated information can be found on our website (daytonoregon.org) and watch our Facebook Page downtown dayton, oregon
