MANKATO â Marley Krois was bummed that the annual Kiwanis Holiday Lights was canceled this year because her 2-year-old is finally old enough to enjoy it. Wanting to do something, the Mankato resident created a Facebook page and a map where people could find what homes are decorated.
Her goal was to help people get into the holiday spirit. Krois encouraged people on Facebook to send her their address if they had decorated and wanted to participate. Through her efforts and word of mouth, the project has been a success.
There were about 230 houses marked on the map as of Wednesday, and it is still growing. People interested in having their home listed on the map are encouraged to message Krois through the page she created.
