During a typical year we share our plans for Panorama by the end of summer, but this year things are a little different. We are still actively meeting and awaiting official approval for our 2020 season. Out of respect for Remembrance Day, we decided to delay any official announcements until November 12th. During the next week, lets all use our time and energy to remember and honour our veterans. Don't worry about us, we will talk to you all on the 12th!... @jon_schaeffer on Instagram

HELP WANTEDPLEASE SHARE For safety reasons, we’re looking for someone willing to donate a secure location just outside of Simcoe, to store 7-8 of our display cases. With your help, we can keep the displays vandalism free and ready to entertain everyone each Christmas season. If you’re able to help, please send us a message on facebook or via email at [email protected]... Thank You!

Thanks so much to everyone who voted and to 98.9 myFM & Oldies 99.7 for hosting The Spirit Of Norfolk Awards!

You are the driving force that keeps the lights shining bright!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

So that’s where they are! Tell them to put some clothes on before they come back

We hope everyone is staying happy, safe and healthy during this hectic time. It's great to see people turning their Christmas lights back on. While we can't do that in the park, we'd love to do it virtually! Please post your favourite picture from Simcoe Christmas Panorama in the comments for everyone to enjoy.... Thanks!
