Setup for Kiwanis Holiday Lights is well underway with less than a month remaining before opening on November 24th.
Crews began work on Sunday, with over 200 volunteers helping out during the first weekend. We believe this year will be bigger and better than ever before! It will feature an upgraded center tree, going from a 45 foot tree to 75 foot one.
The weather is always unpredictable, but our team is prepared to work through whatever Mother Nature throws our way and our hearty volunteers will work through it during warm or cold, rain or snow.
”We have contingent plans for weather as well and stuff that we can do. But when it comes down to it, I mean there’s not, I think there’s only been one time for setup when we actually weren’t in the park. We’ve been out there in rain and snow before setting up, so we’ve got some pretty hearty Minnesotans that are helping us out,” said Scott Wojcik.
The lights officially open on November 24 with their parade at 6 p.m.
