October 10, 2020 – West Bend, WI – Volunteers took advantage of some warm Indian summer weather and started decorating Regner Park for the 2020 Enchantment in the Park.
Boxes of decorations were removed from semi trailers and the red-and-white warming houses were set up at the entrance off Silverbrook Drive.
Joel Schneider with SEEK Careers and Staffing said getting together with the fellas each year means a lot and combined with the volunteer effort, it couldn’t make for a better weekend. “This is for Rotary and we like doing stuff for the community,” said Joel Schneider. “Mostly this is the same crew of 10 or 12 and we’ve been doing this since the event started at the Fair Grounds.”
The main setup weekends at Enchantment in the Park are October 17 and 24.
Opening night is Friday November 27. Enchantment runs through Christmas Eve. All outside activities will be included; drive through light display, horse and carriage, firepit and marshmallow roasting.
Each year more than 5,100 volunteer hours are invested at Enchantment in the Park as local Rotary and Kiwanis groups team up on the holiday light display.
The annual event at Regner Park raises money and donations for area food pantries.
