2nd Annual

Lighting of the Lake and Surroundings


We need your help!

Let's make our town an even more magical place to visit!

We are asking property owners to place a lighted tree or decorate their docks and surrounding areas for the month of December. Lighting from your decks would require an extension cord and a timer set from 5-midnight, making the Lake look like a magical winter wonderland over the holidays. Please contact Nancy Sonney, owner of Secret Cubby, at 814-881-9118 with questions.


Let's light up the Lake!
