✨ Help Us Create Christmas Magic at Lights at the Lake! ✨

This festive season, Weaners Flat Reserve will come alive with the sparkle and wonder of Lights at the Lake, bringing our community together to celebrate the joy, magic and spirit of Christmas.

We're looking for donations of working solar Christmas lights to help make this special event shine brighter than ever. If you have any new or pre-loved lights tucked away that are no longer being used, we'd love to give them a new purpose and spread some Christmas cheer.

🎄 No lights to donate but still want to help create some magic?

Monetary donations to "Lights at the Lake" will go directly towards the purchase of additional solar Christmas lights, helping us transform the reserve into a festive wonderland for everyone to enjoy.

Every light donated, every dollar contributed, and every act of generosity helps make this event possible.

Together, let's light up the lake, celebrate community spirit, and create unforgettable Christmas memories for families across SYP and beyond. ✨❤️
