The 2nd annual Lane of Lights was a great success!

On February 2, Aspen Crossing and other Lane of Lights participants took down their light displays and celebrated a successful year of the Christmas light display in the Aspen Crossing Campground.

This year’s Lane of Lights was a great success and pivotal in creating interest for this year. Not only did we get over double the amount of visitors, but we also had many inquires on how to get involved next year!

The Lane of Lights opened November 17, 2012 and wrapped up New Years Eve. This free Christmas light display was open to the public and featured local businesses from Vulcan, Mossleigh, Carseland, High River, Chestermere and Strathmore.

The only expense to participators was the creation of their displays and it is a fantastic way that we can all get together to express our Christmas spirit... while advertising at the same time!

On Fridays and Saturdays businesses also volunteered in the gingerbread house, created from a campground group shelter, to hand out free hot chocolate and collect food bank donations from visitors

The gingerbread house was very well received. Between the Aspen Crossing dinner theatre and the Lane of Lights we raised over $2652 for our local food banks.

Aspen Crossing would like to sincerely thank the following businesses. The 2012 Lane of Lights would not have been possible without them.
