Candy Cane Lane survives, opening Friday for 2024

Earlier this fall, The Express published a story about the uncertainty of Candy Cane Lane. Because of the death of several of the popular attraction’s dedicated volunteers and health problems experienced by others, the continued existence was in doubt.

But additional volunteers stepped up. Be assured the holiday season feature will open on schedule tomorrow (Friday) night. Thanks to favorable weather, and the hard work and dedication of many civic minded volunteers living in Superior and the surrounding area, Candy Cane Lane will once again be an attraction that will create memories and allow people to reflect on the true meaning of the season. In addition it will be an economic boost to the community with the influx of many visitors who come to see the fantastic display of artistry.

A few of the comments from previously visitors are: “enjoyed the hay rack ride, amazed by the choreographed light show, enjoyed the lighted drive through the archway and humbled by the 200 plus candy canes lining the drive through the park that acknowledges those who have touched our hearts and will never be forgotten.”

Candy Cane Lane offers something for both the young and old alike. Gary Ladman, speaking on behalf of the board and volunteers said, “We look forward to greeting each and every one of you starting the day of Thanksgiving. What a perfect opportunity to offer friends and family a one-of-a-kind experience that Superior has to offer. You will not be disappointed. See you there!”

Since the questionable future of Candy Cane Lane was reported by this newspaper, four volunteers stepped forward and joined the feature’s board of directors. That board is now up to authorized strength.
