- Many worked to make Festival of Lights a success
- December 8, 2015
- To the editor: The weather was beautiful Saturday for the Festival of Lights Parade on Saturday. I would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy the festivities.

She has been my partner in planning this event for the last nine years, and her husband, Russ Carlsonm for announcing the parade for the last three years.
