Dear Editor,
I read with interest the comments made with regards to the
upgrading of Killington Rd, to make it more attractive. This was
started a year ago, when it was noticed that the lights on the
center Island atop West Hill Rd, had been abandoned. This year,
with the help of Pat Linnemayr, Seth Webb and The Mountain Times,
we managed to get half of the trees decorated. We had the "Festival
of Lights," the participation was pretty good, not great, as
some of our leading businesses chose not to partake in the
Festival. However, right after the Christmas week ended, so did the
participation.
It was suggested that the lights and decorations be kept up
through the entire ski season, starting from Thanksgiving through
April to enhance the "sense of arrival." Take a look for
yourselves; take a ride up Killington Road some Friday or Saturday
night. Lights are an easy way to welcome people to our town and to
show that we care.
