We would like to thank the person or family who left a "lil' token of appreciation" for our light display around Dec. 25-27. That really was not necessary because we enjoy doing this for others. We realize that with the tough economic times, families may not be able to go out and do the things that they would normally do at this time of year and that the lights are something that they can do together with very little cost, if any.
