Woodbury's King of Kings, IBEW to Again Partner for Holiday Lights in the Park

The dates for the 2013-14 light show at Phalen Park were recently announced.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and King of Kings Lutheran Church in Woodbury once again produce Holiday Lights in the Park, an annual fundraiser for local charities.

Featuring more than 60 holiday light sculptures and animated displays, the event will run nightly from Nov. 26, 2013 through New Year’s Day at St. Paul’s Phalen Park.

“Each year we strive to make both the display and our charitable contributions bigger than ever,” Vicki Sandberg, co-chair of Holiday Lights in the Park, said in a statement. “We have new displays this year that are going to amaze everyone from the first time visitor to the person that has visited every year since this began. “
