While there was only enough snow to use the snowshoes for one of the Lantern Lit Events this year they were all very well attended. The February 18 event, in conjunction with the Mason-Lake-Oceana Great Start Collaborative Book Walk, was the most attended event since the Lantern Lit events started. FLSP would like to thank the volunteers that helped with the events this year with special thanks to Bob Sasin and Linda and Rocky Burns, who along with LSP staff, took down, cleaned and have stored all the lanterns until next year. |
