Help light up Garvin Park

Local 181 is calling on members and crews to lend a hand setting up Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Volunteers will help assemble and place the light displays for this community tradition. Your time and hard work support Easterseals and local children and adults with disabilities.

How volunteers will help

  1. At the storage building

    Load light displays onto flatbeds and assist drivers with display numbers and park drop-off locations. The storage building is near Garvin Park and the VHS Building.

  2. Throughout Garvin Park

    Unload displays and place them in their designated spots. Deliveries do not arrive in order, so helpers spread throughout the park are especially helpful.

Please be prepared for heavy lifting. All hands are appreciated for this setup day.

Members & crews welcome
