BLUEFIELD — City leaders are looking at several options to address the high cost of operating the popular “Holiday of Lights,” which is the centerpiece attraction of the annual West Virginia Christmas City display.
The Holiday of Lights began in 1996 as a smaller lights display at city park that was mainly handled by volunteers at the time. But it has increased significantly in size and cost over the past three decades with public works employees now responsible for installing the more than 1.5 million lights.
