Here's a way to get you and your dog in the holiday spirit, get some great exercise, and help the Maternal Child Services of Howard County General Hospital.

Join a "walk-thru" of the Symphony of Lights! As Howard County residents know, this is "a spectacular display of more than 70 larger-than-life, animated and stationary light creations."

The walk is 1.4 miles long and hilly. The sponsors warn us to "please be aware there is one major hill!"

Cost: $5 per human.

RULES
Each participant must sign and return the Registration Form to the Howard Hospital Foundation.

Please go to the Files section and print out the waiver for the Tail Lights Registration 2009.

Each person must stay on the path. Please do not touch the displays as the bulbs are extremely hot, intense enough to cause burns. And I know we don't need reminding, but we must be extra sure to pick up all poop.
