Pat Stephens was an early friend and mentor to our group. His passion was infectious. He will be missed. We send our sympathies to his family and everyone who knew him.

Pat Stephens, a beloved La Crosse community leader whose volunteer efforts shaped the region's most cherished events and organizations, died Tuesday afternoon. He was 77.

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who played a role in making our season a success. Our gratitude extends to those who set up and took down lights, worked in concessions, collected donations, managed bonfires, baked Christmas cookies, sponsored wreaths, provided warm meals and treats for volunteers, enjoyed the lights, and spread Christmas cheer. Your hard work and support have not gone unnoticed, and we thank you for your commitment.

Due to the amazing group of volunteers who helped take down the lights, we are officially done as of today!🎄
