2019.12.14. Path of Lights at Green Lake

12/14, Saturday. 4:30-7:30pm. The annual Path of Lights at Green Lake. I've never heard of it until a couple of days ago. I walked along its eastern shore around 6:30pm. Light rain at times, a few tent booths, manned by the park service and various organizations (animal shelter for example). More than one booths were giving away light tubes. No wonder so many kids were wearing them. Quite a turn out. The lights were places on both sides of the walking path, spaced in about 10 meters. Very dim (seems battery powered) and small. Many people wear some holiday light fixtures on their clothes or head. I was most boring, wearing a headlamp (useful, quite muddy at places). A few kayaks decked with lights and cartoon figures (Santa, Snoopy for example), rowed by the shore around the lake. One booth was performing. I stood for two groups. Both were small, but quite fun. I also picked up a chocolate snake from the Kinds booth, which was a nice surprise.
