Milner Christmas Magic is cancelled Wednesday, December 21, 2022 due to hazardous conditions.
While we hoped to open tonight for our final night, there is still too much snow and ice to do so safely.
Sincere apologies to those who were looking forward to viewing our last event evening and we hope to see everyone next year!
