It's the final year to visit the Leduc Country Lights. This display lights up the night sky. I'm sure every person leaving there has a big smile on their face.

As you turn off the highway and head toward the acreage, it is as dark as it can be. Soon you begin to see a glow in the sky. The colored lights are bright against the night sky.

I can't imagine the effort it must take to set up the pathways, the displays and coordinate the volunteers that help. That is a major undertaking. It is no wonder that the family has pulled back from spending so many hours on the event; hours to be spend with friends and family in the future.

When we pulled into the parking lot last night, parents were getting sleds, wagons and strollers ready to take excited children through the Christmas wonderland. We were in awe with the display of colored lights, displays and animation. It makes you feel like Christmas.

I hope someone steps up and offers to continue the tradition in another location. It was a great spot that people looked forward to visiting every year. 

The weather was perfect last night for a leisurely walk in the crisp night air. The lights twinkled. The carols could be heard over the speakers and laughter echoed through the yard. What a wonderful way to spend an evening one week ahead of Christmas.
