Residents of Denare Beach are again urged to be part of the Village of Lights by putting up Christmas lights.  One of the organizers Maureen McBratney says this is the seventh year for the event.  She explains they’re just a small community and that’s why they’re called a village so they named their contest Village of Lights.  She says they ask everybody to throw up a string of lights, decorate your yard, your garage, the boat in the side of the yard to get into the spirit of things and light up the evenings out there during the holiday season.

The event is sponsored this year by the Village Council, Rockyview Lodge and Beach Towing.  Make sure your lights are on as judging will take place after dark tomorrow night.
