Organizers for the annual Dacey Trail Candlelight Walk in Shelbyville are preparing for a second attempt at putting the event on.  It’s set now for Saturday, February 14 from 6-8 p.m.  The original date was January 17, but cold weather forced them to postpone the event.  The candlelight walk is renowned for its pure beauty on a well known trail in Shelbyville.  In addition, the rearrangement of the walk to Valentine’s Day is expected to add extra significance this year.

Bob Niestradt helps orchestrate the Dacey Trail Candlelight Walk.  He says every part of the path has enough light to keep visitors on track.

One way in which the trail is lit up is through “candlelight globes.”  These are ice spheres with lights inside.

In addition to the lights, the usual sounds of nature are present, as well.

Niestradt speaks highly of the overall aesthetic of the experience.  He says a marriage proposal even took place at last year’s walk, and with this year’s edition now set for Valentine’s Day, there’s no telling what may happen this time.

More information on the Dacey Trail Candlelight Walk is available on Dacey Trail’s Facebook page.
