The Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc. of Mitchell is hosting its 57th annual candlelight tour of Spring Mill State Park’s Pioneer Village on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 4 to 9 p.m.

In traditional dress, Tri Kappa members and their families, along with Spring Mill employees and volunteers, will reenact pioneer life in the village during the mid-1800s.

Pioneer crafts, demonstrations, and entertainment by musical groups will be a part of the tour. Guests are asked to bring a flashlight. Tri Kappa members will sell concession and food items in the Carriage House.

Buses will be available to shuttle visitors from the Lakeview Activity Center after all fields and parking lots are full. Shuttles will also be available for guests with overnight accommodations from the campground parking lot to the village. Bus shuttles for guests are provided by a grant through Lawrence County Tourism.

Park admission is $7 per vehicle for in-state residents and $9 per vehicle for out-of-state residents. The village tour is free with admission to the park. The tour has become a popular kickoff event for Mitchell’s weeklong Persimmon Festival.

Tri Kappa is a statewide sorority that supports many community projects.
