The Holiday season is best captured with beautiful light displays all across the country. It was a holiday tradition when I was a child to drive around the countryside to see everyone's holiday lights making the night sky look magical.

COUNTRY LIGHTS FESTIVAL IS PREPARING FOR WINTER FUN

The city of Sartell has been busy with volunteers getting ready for their Country Lights Festival for the holiday season. The holiday light display is a free event that people can enjoy.
