For the first time in a long time, the City of Larned did not have Christmas decorations downtown this past holiday season due to a streetscape project that installed new light poles.
A Christmas lights fundraiser has been organized in Larned to purchase new decorations for the next holiday season.
Committee member Rachel Hill said businesses and individuals can help sponsor a light pole or donate any amount.
"Our goal is get decorations from 4th Street up to 14th Street, west down 14th Street and also down Southwest Trail," said Hill. "That would go in front of the Santa Fe Liquormart, Bliss Salon & Boutique and the diner that is down there."
Hill said the goal is to collect $75,000.
Sponsorships of at least $250 will get your name on a plaque in the City Office lobby, recognition on social media and a mention in The Tiller & Toiler newspaper.
