Christmas Light Tours


FROM THE MORNING CALL

Just in case there are any readers of this blog who don't also read my columns in print or online, I wanted to make a pitch here for everyone to: 1. Send me nominations for your favorite holiday displays in Lehigh or Northampton counties 2. Send me a check for at least $25 made out to Second Harvest Food Bank, which gives you a chance to win a guided tour, perhaps even in the Air Products hydrogen bus. You'll also get an assortment of gourmet cookies prepared by the Lights Tour's official baker, Louise Melcher.

My mailing address is 101 N. Sixth St., Allentown 18105. Those who make the largest contributions/bids will automatically qualify for their own trips.
Go to my stories on the light nominations and the fund-raising effort to get many more details. Last year the Lights Tour campaign raised more than $15,000 for Second Harvest, and all told we've raised more than $64,000 for the hunger relief efforts of Second Harvest.

I ran a different version of the photo below last year, but several people have emailed me a new one over the past week, and in the context of my tour, it's still worth sharing. I can tell you that I haven't come across anything like this yet on my own travels.
