If you remember back many months ago in July, tickets for Pullen Park's very popular Holiday Express event sold out in less than two hours. The big event starts this week, running from Dec. 7 to Dec. 10 and Dec. 12 to Dec. 17.

And, for those of us who don't have tickets, it's important to note that Pullen Park will be closed to the public on the days that the event will be held. The park will be closed all day on Dec. 7 to Dec. 10 and Dec. 12 to Dec. 17 so staff can clean up and get the space ready for the next evening of fun.
