The lakeside parks have held their drive-throughs of colored campsites. Several parades have allowed the citizens to dress up and look their best. Makers markets and other festivals have brought all kinds of people with their handcrafts to town. In one special event, those with lighted candles held them high and ran or walked through town in a glow run event. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> One downtown business held a colorful Friday evening dinner theater treat. Churches and schools put on programs and decorated. Everywhere one looked on their cell phones or television screens the people were smiling and singing. Finally, Christmas, the best time of the year for families to gather, has now come and gone, too. But coming next is spring and Easter. The colorful lights of this past season may have gone to rest and sleep. But this is only until the grass, birds, trees and flowers wake up to sprout and wave in the wind and sun. Remember, if you can, that before too long the area will be having its wildflower trails celebrations. Nature’s season of year-round displays will be with us again. </div></body>
