As many of you know, utility costs have risen significantly this year — and powering the lights, sound, and festivities of Spirit of Christmas is no exception. To keep this event bright and running strong, we've made a modest adjustment to vendor pricing this season. Thank you for your continued support in making this Lakeside tradition possible.
