a nice small town feel.
School choir concerts, a Messiah sing-along,
a light parade with floats full of Boy Scouts,
church choirs, and little kids
dressed like angels....
The volunteers at Besh-ba-gowah Park
offered free admission to the
700-year-old pueblo ruins
for their annual "Festival of Lights."
Almost 2000 luminaria lined the walls
of the ruins, and there were
musical performances, bonfires,
hot cider and cookies,
and a visit from Santa, of course!
