3rd Annual Merry & Bright Union Station Lighting Event & Toy Drive
November 21 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Occidental Management will be hosting its 3rd Annual Merry & Bright Union Station Lighting Event & Toy Drive to benefit the Wichita Children’s Home on November 21st. Last year’s event culminated in hundreds of new toys for children in need in our community.
This is a free, family-friendly event open to all. Wichita Mayor Lily Wu will do the honor of flipping on the switch to light up the Union Station building. In addition to the lighting, this year’s event will also once again feature photos with Santa, carriage rides, hot cocoa and cookies, and musical performers. KWCH Channel 12 will cover the event live with co-sponsor SummitMedia (KFDI-FM 101.3). Everyone is encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the Wichita Children’s Home.
The evening will be packed with holiday activities, music, and more. Occidental Management extends a special thank-you to the generous sponsors and partners for helping ensure the success of this event:
