Local Christmas in Lakeview, Ohio

For the last four years the Lakeview Business Group has partnered with the Indian Lake Area Chamber of Commerce to offer a local parade through Downtown Lakeview. This year's parade was themed "It's a Magical Christmas at Indian Lake". We at Indian Lake Outfitters wanted to support the local hometown event as much as possible so we submitted an entry in the 4th Annual Lakeview Christmas Parade where we were awarded a plaque for "Best of Theme".


After the parade, the Lakeview Business Group sponsored the Lakeview Christmas Event for area residents to stroll the shops of Downtown Lakeview, enjoy a horse and carriage ride through the city and enter to win numerous prizes. Residents could also participate in a scavenger hunt and take the kids to visit Santa at Osgood bank in exchange for a canned food items. Area businesses offered door prizes, drawings and refreshments as well.

It was a great evening in Downtown Lakeview of Indian Lake - thank you to all who came!

Outreach to Indian Lake for Christmas in the Park 2011

It’s that time of year again for the annual Logan County Neighborhood Outreach Christmas in the Park at the Indian Lake State Park. If you haven’t seen the light display, it’s a must see! Several area businesses and organizations donate their time to build a display of holiday cheer for local residents and visitors to enjoy. With over 40 businesses on display and two roads of campsites, the program continues to grow each year marking 2011 the 5th Annual Christmas in the Park.

All proceeds from the event benefit the children and families from the Western, Chippewa and Russells Point neighborhoods through the Outreach Centers. Outreach centers partner with neighbors and residents to facilitate and organize programs that promote stability, children safety and strong communities. Locally, the activities include monthly meetings, holiday events, birthday parties, family outings, mentor programs, nutrition programs, job training and homework help. For more information on the Outreach Center, contact Drew Shick or Aaron Pool at 937-843-9283.

Christmas in the Park is open to the public on December 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 23rd from 6-9 at the Indian Lake State Park Campground. The group is asking for a $5 donation per car load that tours the display. Bring the whole family, drive through a Winter Wonderland of twinkling light displays, enjoy the show and send us a picture of you and the family in front of the Indian Lake Outfitters scene. Santa doesn't like to duck hunt alone!
