Help bring a little more Christmas magic to Merrill! 🎄

The Christmas of the Past Lights Program is helping replace Merrill’s aging holiday decorations with new lights sponsored in honor or memory of loved ones.

Community members, families and businesses are invited to sponsor a light or make a donation toward the program. New displays will begin appearing throughout Merrill this holiday season as the project grows.
