Christmas display attracts spectators and donations

Regardless of your tribe, the Christmas season has a unique way of uniting us together. We get extra time with families, we think about others, and support those less fortunate.  And no Christmas is complete without checking out some of the light displays around the city. The Attridge Family Christmas display recently opened for the holiday season for its third year in a row.  Homeowner Gregory Attridge says this year the display is bigger than ever.

Last year saw hundreds of attendees bring donations.  They collected 450 pounds of food for the Interfaith Food Bank and carloads of toys for the Angel Tree Christmas campaign.  This year, the display will continue supporting those initiatives along with one more, Prairie Pets.

The display runs December 7th, 14th and 21st, 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 1803 14th Avenue North.
