It’s still more than 100 days until Thanksgiving weekend, and that should give volunteers for La Crosse’s Rotary Lights plenty of time to finish at least one new attraction for this year’s display.

Santa is getting a new wooden sleigh, which volunteer Terry Slaback of Rotary Lights says will look very much like the old sleigh which is being retired after about 15 years of use.

Even though many other public events have been cancelled this year because of COVID-19, Rotary Lights is expected to go on as planned in La Crosse’s Riverside Park at Christmas.
