This event was put on by Clearwater County staff on November 8th. A number of the buildings at the Nordegg mine site were decorated with Christmas lights. The public was invited to come out for the evening and enjoy the show. There was a bonfire, hot chocolate, and they even had a projection TV showing an old Christmas movie. Attendance exceeded expectations. The site was completely over run with vehicles and there was almost no where to park. Margarit and I went up to the site shortly after it opened, at 6:00PM. There must have been 50 to 60 vehicles, so probably close to 200 people...!
This is all the more spectacular when you consider the fact that there is no power at the site. Everything was run on generators. It must have been a huge amount of work for the staff to set this all up, and everyone really seemed to appreciate their efforts. Sadly my phone snapshots don't really do it justice.
