The Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc. will host its 55th annual Candlelight Tour of Spring Mill State Park's Pioneer Village on Sept. 17 from 4 to 9 p.m.
In mid-1800s attire, Tri Kappa members and their families, along with Spring Mill employees and volunteers, will re-enact pioneer life by occupying the houses and buildings of the village.
The tour will include music by traditional bands. Tri Kappa members will sell concession and food items in the Carriage House along with beans and cornbread at the Sheeks House.
Visitors are asked to bring a flashlight because it will be dark when they return to their vehicle. Buses will shuttle visitors with overnight accommodations from the campground and inn parking lots to the village thanks to grants from the Lawrence County Community Foundation and Lawrence County Tourism
Park entrance fees of $7 for in-state vehicles and $9 for out-of-state vehicles apply for this event.
Tri Kappa is a statewide sorority that supports many community projects. The tour is a popular kickoff event for the Persimmon Festival in Mitchell.
