New lights, old lights?

You may have noticed the crisp, new, decorative, LED lights spanning even the back of Grand Coulee Dam in seasonal spirit lately. Well now, we learn of a retro look with a gathering to celebrate the return of what for some is an old favorite: the huge colorful light bank that used to light the front of the dam nightly in the summer. We're speculating their could be a funding tie-in? Either way, be in the park below the Visitor Center Dec. 31, from 5 p.m. on to witness, celebrate and remember. - Scott Hunter
