In spite of some curveballs from Mother Nature the Memories of Monument Hill lantern-led historical tours went on last Friday and Saturday in front of big crowds. Following a short afternoon shower, Friday’s tours included six historical scenes honoring the heroes buried at Monument Hill as attendees walked around the park led by park staff with lanterns.
Saturday’s increased threat of rain sent the event inside Casino Hall, where scenes took turns taking the stage as the audience watched.
