Tour de Lights recap








We had about 200 dedicated people show up to spite the rain. You could tell they had spent hours on their costumes and decorations! It warmed my heart to see everyone there (but my feet were still cold...) Congrats to all our winners, thanks to KPD, the judges and our volunteers!

Tour de Lights date change

Due to the rain forecasted for Thursday, we have rescheduled Tour de Lights to next Tuesday, December 21. Everything will happen at the same time as planned.

Let's hope the current forecast for a sunny day in the 40s on Tuesday holds!

And, hey, this gives you another weekend to get battery-powered LED lights and put them on your bike, helmet, and/or trailer!
