Captains to Host Holiday Lighting & Winter Fireworks Event

(Eastlake, OH) - The Lake County Captains are proud to announce the inaugural Classic Park Holiday Lights & Fireworks Show that the organization will host for the residents of Eastlake and Willowick on Saturday, December 6 from 6 PM - 8 PM.

The event, which is funded entirely by the Captains at no expense to the City of Eastlake or Willowick, will kick-off the holidays in style for the community as attendees will enter Classic Park through the main gates which will have holiday decorations, lights and a 14-foot Christmas tree decorated for the season.

Inside the stadium, Santa, Mrs. Claus and Skipper will be on hand to take photos with youngsters of all ages. All three characters will arrive to the party on board City of Eastlake and City of Willowick fire trucks.

"Given the response that we receive each year with the free community Independence Day fireworks show that we host for both cities, we expect that the response will be just as positive for this unique holiday event," said Captains General Manager Brad Seymour. "We are very excited to provide this experience for residents of Eastlake and Willowick and open up Classic Park at this time of year to enjoy the holidays."

The Captains will host an arts and crafts area where children in attendance can decorate ornaments that they can hang on their Christmas tree.   

The Willoughby-Eastlake school system will provide caroling groups throughout the evening and the in-park video board will feature holiday video clips and holiday music.

Attendees will also enjoy complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, cold beverages and snacks, all of which will be served while supplies last during the event.

The Captains open the 2015 season on April 10 in Lansing before returning for the Classic Park Home Opener on Sunday, April 12 against Bowling Green. Affordable ticket packages are available for purchase now and more information may be found at CaptainsBaseball.com.
