The annual find the hidden light game is back. The West Plains Electric Department developed a game for parents and children to participate in together as they view the Christmas lights throughout the shopping districts in town a few years ago.
The game is simple: Parents are encouraged to pick up candy canes at City Hall for each of their children and a “master key” map, which reveals the locations of hidden red, blue or green bulbs in the Christmas decorations hung by the Electric Department. As parents drive around the city doing their Holiday shopping, children can watch for the hidden bulbs. Once children find the lights, parents can reward the child with a candy cane, courtesy of the Electric Department.
“Hopefully, this brings some excitement to the Christmas lights throughout the town that both young and even the older kids can enjoy!” said Public Works Director Jeff Hanshaw.
