lights spectacular
The Hill Country is
truly lit up this year
with spectacular light-
ing practicularly every-
where you look.
Harper is more enliven-
ed, probably because of
the Chamber's contest
and partly because peo-
ple just seem to be in
the mood for Christmas
decorations.
Fredericksburg looks ab-
solutely beautiful at
night, on Main Street es-
pecially. All the store .
fronts and businesses
up and down Main and
even off the side streets,
have outlined their build-
ings in lights and across
Main Street are more
lights than we can proba-
bly ever count!
But, if you really want
to see the most spectacu-
lar sight in the Hill
Country—go to Johnson
City and see the old
Courthouse there. This
writer was fortunate to
see that sight several
times this past week when
we traveled to Lago Vista
for basketball play. It
truly is a remarkable
sight and well worth.the
trip over there!
Johnson City has embark-
ed on an expedition to
light up the town for
Christmas, sponsored by
their Chamber of Com-
merce also, and it ap- ""
parently has paid some
dividends. Booths have
been set up around the
sq re there, and cars,
people and shoppers are
stopping to view this
marvelous sight. Try
it out—it is worth
the trip!
