White River Wonderland Christmas Lights — Attraction in Batesville

Don’t wear shoes you care about, or bring extras with you. The entire walkway from the start of the trip to the end is just grass that’s never been properly cared for. In the grand scheme of things this isn’t a huge deal. “Just wear boots” okay sure, what about the elderly falling down due to lack of mobility and the unsafe walking conditions this presents?
