Tri Kappa 51st Annual Candlelight Tour Is Saturday

Last updated on Friday, September 22, 2017

(MITCHELL) - The Pioneer Village at Spring Mill State Park will come to life with historical re-enactors, crafts, demonstrations and musical entertainment during the 51st annual Tri Kappa Candlelight Tour Saturday.

Dressed in traditional pioneer clothes Kappa Kappa Kappa's Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Mitchell sorority members, volunteers and park employees will re-create life in the mid-1800s in the houses and buildings of the restored Pioneer Village from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Visitors should bring a flashlight and jacket.

The event is free, although the standard park admission fee of $7 per in-state vehicle and $9 per out-of-state vehicle applies. Buses will shuttle visitors from the Lakeview Activity Center (nature center), campground and inn to the village.

The Mitchell chapter has sponsored the Spring Mill Candlelight Tour since 1967. It has become a popular kick-off event for the week-long Persimmon Festival in Mitchell.

Tri Kappa is a statewide sorority that supports community and state charities as well as educational and cultural projects. All proceeds raised by Tri Kappa from the concession stand and boutique in the carriage house and the beans and cornbread sold near the summer kitchen will be used to fund those projects and other community activities.
