FARM MUSEUM LIGHT SHOW DATES SET

The West Virginia Farm Museum Christmas Light Display will open December 8 and will run through December 18, from 6-9 p.m. nightly, according to Museum Manager Lloyd Akers.

As in the past, admission is free, but donations in support of the nonprofit museum are greatly appreciated. The Museum’s Country Store will be open each night and will have cookies, coffee and hot chocolate available free of charge. Santa will also be on hand to collect all the kids’ Christmas wishes.

This year’s exhibit will feature approximately two million lights and is being erected by a team of dedicated volunteers. Roughly 8,500 visitors passed through the gates last year and organizers are hoping for even more this year, Akers added.

The West Virginia Department of Agriculture protects plant, animal and human health through a variety of scientific, regulatory and consumer protection programs, as mandated by state law. The Commissioner of Agriculture is one of six statewide elected officials in West Virginia. Currently, Commissioner Gus R. Douglass is the longest-serving agriculture commissioner in the nation.
