Thank you to the Kingfisher High School Band Ensemble for spreading Christmas cheer through your performance at Kingfisher Winter Nights! You made the evening special!
The big trucks are back out at the park! They were here in the beginning to put up the lights and make the tree tops shine. Today, they are back out to take them all down!
Thank you, Cimarron Electric! We appreciate all you did to make Kingfisher Winter Nights merry and bright this year, and appreciate your helping get it all cleaned up so we can give the park back to the community to continue enjoying!
It is always a lot more fun setting up for an event than it is cleaning up afterwards; but it's all part of making it happen. Volunteers are needed to help us take down the lights so we can give the keys to the park back to the city.
If you are willing to help one afternoon, or even an hour or two, please contact Terri Peck or a board member to plan a day to come help!
Our Social Media Contest Winner is Kathy Klade from Okarche! Congratulations, Kathy! Please come pick up your KWN Goodie Basket from 6-9pm today or tomorrow at the Girl Scout Cabin in the park. That is across the street from the Bernie Snow Aquatics Center at 400 Park Rd Kingfisher, OK 73750
Thank you to everyone who shared our post and participated in the contest!
Friday, December 9th- Santa Sightings and Free Pictures by Black Gold Nutrition have stopped for the night due to rain and lightning.
Best conductor ever! Thank you, Doug Hauser.
Thank you, Santa and Mrs. Claus! We know this is your busy season, so we were so pleased you came to Kingfisher Winter Nights for our Polar Express Night! See you again this Friday, Dec. 9th toward the back of the park!
ALL ABOARD.... POLAR EXPRESS NIGHT IS HERE!!
Polar Express Night is a special event night at Kingfisher Winter Nights sponsored by OVINTIV and Kingfisher Public Schools, where we will show the movie THE POLAR EXPRESS on the field next to the train station, starting at 6:30pm. The movie is free and anyone can come. You will need to bring a chair or air mattress to sit on and we suggest you dress warm and bring blankets to keep you comfortable. Children must be accompanied by an adult in the park.
***********
CHILDREN IN THE 3RD GRADE AND YOUNGER, WHO WEAR THEIR PAJAMAS can check-in at the table set up by the field (It's left of the train station if you are facing the entrance from HWY 33). Upon checking in, those children who qualify will receive a special ticket good for a FREE TRAIN RIDE and a FREE HOT CHOCOLATE from the train station concession stand!
Anyone older than 3rd grade or who doesn't wear PJ's is welcome to buy a train ticket for $3 or hot chocolate for $1 at the train station.
Children must get that special ticket from the check-in table and children must be accompanied by an adult on the train.
These special tickets are NOT available at the train station... only at that special check-in table by the movie area/field.
Santa will be available for FREE digital photos, provided courtesy of Black Gold Nutrition, and Vick's Cotton Candy will be on site with delicious cotton candy available for purchase. Including cotton candy on glow sticks.
All of these activities are in the movie area of the park. But remember, the park is lit up, and you are invited to walk or drive thru the park, as well.
Hope to see you THIS TUESDAY NIGHT!! The Park opens at 6pm! Gilmour Elementary students can actually start checking in at 5:30pm. Everyone else is asked to come at 6pm. See you then!
Please share to get the word out!

Volunteers have been working to wrap presents for visitors to enjoy during Kingfisher Winter Nights. Here's a little sneak peek for you. The countdown has begun and Kingfisher Winter Nights will be before you know it!
Thank you to Mrs. Birdwell and her Practical Skills Class for volunteering at the park this week! Your contributions are sure going to brighten the holidays for a lot of people! We appreciate you!
Did you know that Kingfisher Winter Nights is organized, set up, and ran totally by volunteers? As a non profit event, we depend on a volunteer board and generous business sponsors, along with individuals and groups in the area to make this event happen.
Because volunteers are so crucial to this effort, we don't take our volunteers for granted. Today, we'd like to introduce one of our volunteers- Stephanie Jackson. She, her husband, Corey and their construction crew came out today and got a lot accomplished in the park.
Kingfisher Winter Nights will be here before you know it and there is still a lot to do. If you have a free hour or two and are willing to help like Stephanie and her crew, Terri Peck, who is our volunteer coordinator, will gladly put you to work.
This is the final week to visit Kingfisher Winter Nights, which means we only have a few more chances to win prizes. As always, you can still participate in the scavenger hunt, sponsored by Harrison and Mecklenburg, and turn in your form at the exit of the park to be entered in a drawing. But, we will also have a few final social media contests. Here is how to enter the first one:
1. LIKE the Kingfisher Winter Nights page.
2. POST a picture of you or your family on the Swing Bridge taken this year with the HASHTAG: #KWNswingbridge2021
3. SET the privacy of your post to PUBLIC
It's as easy as 1-2-3 to enter, and we will draw and announce the winner Thursday night!
**Watch for more contests this week!!
