  • I'm glad to see some of the community get involved again. I know the main objective is to raise money but it use to be so much more enjoyable also. Outside, through up a tent, get there before it started for opening ceremony and walk through the night under the stars. There would be a lot going on. Luminary service was amazing. It just isn't the same anymore and to my knowledge there isn't even as much money raised.
