Lights & Delights Application Deadline

🎄✨ A New Holiday Tradition Begins in Ashland! ✨🎄

For the first time ever, the Ashland County Fairgrounds will be transformed into a drive-through Christmas light display—open Thursdays through Sundays, 6–9 PM, all December long (closed Christmas Day).

This is a community-built display, and we’re inviting local businesses, families, nonprofits, and organizations to decorate a 10, 20, or 50-foot section of the path with your own holiday magic. Each display will feature a sign with your name or logo! 🔌 All lights must be LED.

🎨 Want to join the fun?

• Decorate a section yourself: It’s free to participate if you're providing your own decorations and setup. To show our appreciation for your time, creativity, and community spirit—we won’t charge you a vendor fee! Choose a 10ft, 20ft or 50ft space when completing the PDF registration below.
• ​Prefer a professional touch? Choose the Corporate Display Package for $2,500 and let J&H Lawncare & Snowplowing handle it all—including setup, teardown, structure purchases, and seasonal storage. Bonus: you’ll own the display for future use! (Note: this option is not eligible for the decorating contest.) A $200 setup fee applies in future years. Corporate packages must REGISTER ON THIS PAGE ABOVE AND FILL OUT THE PDF!
