Braving the chilly weather, men, women, teenagers and children take turns standing in the scenes as Bible chracters. The settings are made realistic with live animals, colorful props and costumes. The atmosphere is enhanced with over 1,400 glowing candles (Luminaries) outlining the drive-through route from scene to scene over a 10-block area. The Horton Event is a family tradition for many and draws hundreds of carloads annually from Northeast Kansas and neighboring states. There is no charge for driving through the luminaries, however donations will be gratefully accepted, which will benefit the South Brown County Ministerial Association. In case of inclement weather, cancellation will be announced over local radio stations. The entire Horton community invites everyone to join us for a very blessed event to kick-off the Christmas season.
