NEWGLSF has enjoyed a working partnership with the Lincoln Park zoo for the past 50 years. The clubs fish rearing pond is located on zoo property and since the partnership was formed over 6 million Trout & Salmon have been raised in the rearing pond and released into Lake Michigan for area fishermen to enjoy.
The drive through show features over 70 lighted Animal and Holiday light displays, many of which are animated. Light show attendees can enjoy the show from the comfort of their own car for a donation of just $5.00 per carload. Funds raised from this event are used for exhibit improvements throughout the Lincoln Park Zoo and educational programs.
The light show will run from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday starting on the Friday after Thanksgiving. As Christmas approaches the Light Show will run nightly starting December 17th through December 29th. There will be an opportunity to enjoy the Light Show by walking through Lincoln Park for one evening only on December 30th. The suggested donation for the “Family Night Fun Walk” is $5.00 per person or $10.00 per family.
People visiting the Light show will enter from the intersection of Waldo Blvd. and Lincoln Blvd. and exit on the west side of the park onto North 8th Street. The light show organizers wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! Club Meeting Plans for 2020 Due to health & safety concerns associated with the COVID 19 Pandemic, and for the safety of our club members and guest speakers, the Board of NEWGLSF has decided to cancel all remaining general meetings for the year 2020.
