14th Light Show Tops Them All

Organizers of the 14th edition of the Enchanted Forest presented by BHP Billiton announced recently that the popular Holiday Light Tour through the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park will go into the books as best ever! The event attracted 65,000 visitors and generated $250,000 to be shared equally between the two partners, the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation and the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation. This is the highest amount of revenue ever generated by the event.
