The Celebration of Holiday Light will run from November 24, 2025 through January 1, 2026, every evening from 5pm-11pm.
We welcome your participation in displaying a deer in the "Field of Deer" as part of this year’s celebration. A deer can be placed in honor of or in memory of a loved one, a military veteran, a friend or "just because.”
The drop off dates for the DEER at May Field are as follows:
· Saturday, November 15 from 1pm-3pm
· Sunday, November 16 from 1pm-3pm
· Saturday, November 22 from 1pm-3pm
The pick up date at time is as follows:
· Saturday, January 3 from 1pm-4pm
Additionally, plaques for the deer can be purchased for display on the Tribute Board, located along the fence line near the bleachers of May Field. There is a one-time charge of $10 for a plaque, which can be reused in future years. Note that purchasing a plaque is not mandatory - there is no cost for simply bringing a deer. (The attached application has the details on dropping off and picking up your deer, along with requirements for an exterior extension cord, etc.).
Required forms for displaying your DEER and purchase of new plaques.
This year’s Field of Deer is once again sponsored by our local Staunton Boy Scout Troop 33. They look forward to serving you in the coming weeks as this event draws near.
Should you have questions, please contact Scott Eaton (fodstaunton@gmail.com). We are looking forward to seeing you at the local treasure that is Gypsy Hill Park!
Sincerely,
Scott Eaton, Scoutmaster
