Annual Candlelight Tour kicks off Persimmon Festival on Saturday, September 23

MITCHELL – The Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc. of Mitchell’s annual Candlelight Tour is scheduled for Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Spring Mill State Park, east of Mitchell on State Road 60 East.

In traditional dress, Tri Kappa members and their families along with Spring Mill employees and their friends will be reenacting the pioneer life of their ancestors by inhabiting the houses and buildings of the restored village to make it come alive, as it would have been in the mid-1800s.

Pioneer crafts, demonstrations, and entertainment by many musical groups will be a part of the tour. Visitors are asked to please bring a flashlight. Tri Kappa Members will sell concession and food items in the Carriage House.

The tour is from 4:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. There will be a park admission charge of $7.00 for in-state licensed and $9.00 for out-of-state licensed vehicles.

The village tour is free of charge. 

According to park manager Mark Young, buses will shuttle visitors from the Lakeview Activity Center (nature center) and visitors with overnight accommodations from the campground parking lot to the village. Tri Kappa would like to thank Lawrence County Tourism for a grant that provided buses for shuttling visitors.

Tri Kappa is a statewide sorority, which supports many community and state charity, educational, and cultural projects. The Mitchell chapter has sponsored the Spring Mill Candlelight Tour since 1967. It has become a popular kick-off event for the week-long Persimmon Festival in Mitchell.

Flower Park in Sulphur holds annual historic candlelight tour

SULPHUR, Okla. (KXII) - Flower Park in Sulphur is one of the most historically significant parks in Oklahoma and over the weekend people had the chance to learn more about it in a new light.

“Our park is over a hundred years old and its a really cool park with a lot of story behind it,” said park ranger Megan Wilkins. “Its one of the oldest parks in the whole park system.”

Over the weekend people had the opportunity to learn more about the parks history at the historic candlelight tour.

The the tour featured several displays with information about how the park has changed throughout the years and is lit entirely by over a thousand electric candles.

Wilkins this unique experience is a great way to learn about the parks history.

“It adds a lot of romance I think,” Wilkins said. Everybody enjoys luminaries, everybody loves doing something at a time of day you don’t normally get out and enjoy a park.”

The tour is traditionally held in December closer to Christmas but was moved to October in hopes of more favorable temperatures.

That is not the only change though as the ongoing pandemic forced them to take a different approach.

“Because we are still not quite out of the pandemic yet we made the choice to make it self guided,” Wilkins said. “So folks can come and go and it gives you the chance to have more space between people.”

Around this time of year many people choose to spend their evenings at pumpkin patches or other fall festivities.

But ranger Wilkins says this event provided an experience that you can’t get anywhere else.

“Its not just entertainment its also education,” Wilkins said. “So you get to see something more than just, you know, a holiday thig. Its also just a good piece of history.”

Wilkins said that the change in time worked out so well that they expect to hold the tours in October again next year.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
