Traffic backs up along Route 66 in Delmont waiting to tour the “Monticello Lights,” on Delmont’s Monticello Drive on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020. Neighborhood residents held a house-decorating contest to raise money for two local nonprofits.
Delmont firefighters got a sneak peek at the light show on Friday night.
In advance of this weekend’s “Monticello Lights” fundraiser, which will raise money for Project Bundle Up and the Delmont Volunteer Fire Department, residents of the Monticello neighborhood took firefighters on a preview tour.
From 6-9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, visitors to the neighborhood can vote for their favorite decorating scheme by donating outside that house. Monticello resident Joe Hanna flew his drone over the neighborhood on Friday evening to get a bird’s-eye look.
Last year, the event drew so many cars it backed up traffic all the way to Route 66. This year’s event includes more interactive components for visitors, available through a new website.
