IN RUTLAND, JAMES MALONEY, NBC5 NEWS. A GROWING TRADITION IN FRANKLIN COUNTY, NEW YORK IS RETURNING THIS WEEKEND. THE TUPPER LAKE HOLIDAY STROLL AIMS TO GIVE A BOOST TO BUSINESSES IN THE VILLAGE AND CELEBRATE COMMUNITY PRIDE IN THE ADIRONDACKS. THE STROLL IS THIS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE CAROLING, HORSE DRAWN SLEIGH RIDES, VISITS WITH SANTA, DANCE RECITALS AND A TREE LIGHTING CELEBRATION, AND EVEN A PLANETARIUM SHOW AT THE ADIRONDACK SKY CENTER. THE VILLAGE OF TUPPER LAKE HOPES THAT THE FRESH SNOWFALL WILL CREATE A REALLY SPECIAL ATMOSPHERE FOR THE HOLIDAY EVENTS. I KNOW FOR ME ITS THE ITS THE NOSTALGIA. I FEEL LIKE ONE OF MY MAIN GOALS IN IN WORKING AND BUILDING UP THIS HOLIDAY STROLL IS TO CREATE THAT SENSE OF NOSTALGIA, NOT ONLY FOR OUR KIDS SO THAT THEY HAVE CHRISTMAS MEMORIES, BUT FOR THE ADULTS TOO, THAT FAMILIES LIKE WE WANT TO INSTILL THAT CHRISTMAS MAGIC OR THAT HOLIDAY MAGIC AGAIN IN PEOPLE WE WANT, YOU KNOW, POSITIVITY. NEW THIS YEAR, THERES A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE WILD CENTER AND THE VILLAGE OF TUPPER LAKE. THE WILD CENTER IS ALREADY WELL KNOWN FOR ITS POPULAR WILD LIGHTS EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE WINTER TIME. THE NONPROFIT SECURED A GRANT TO HELP EXPAND LIGHT DISPLAYS BEYOND ITS CAMPUS AND ILLUMINATE PARTS OF THE VILLAGE. BUSINESSES WILL BE LIGHTING UP THEIR STOREFRONTS, AND THEN WERE ALSO STRINGING LIGHTS DOWN A THE MUNICIPAL PARK IN THE TUPPER LAKE LIBRARY AND THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST TO KIND OF CREATE A COMMUNITY FEEL AROUND WILD LIGHTS AND ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO CHECK OUT LOCAL BUSINESSES AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE TUPPER LAKE HAS TO OFFER YOU KNOW, AROUND WILD LIGHTS. YOU CAN FIND A FULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR THE HOLIDAY STROLL ON TUPPER. LAKE.COM ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE RECREATION DIRECTOR THANKED THE TUPPER LAKE ROTARY CLUB AND THE TUPPER ARTS FOR THEIR HELP MAKI
