Just as the folks behind Grayson County s Holiday Lights prepared to put the wraps on the 20th season of the display, something slimy slivered in and ripped the cheer out of a number for the displays.
Holiday Lights Elf Services Coordinator Jodi Platt, otherwise known as the county s purchasing agent, said someone stole several thousand feet of wiring from the displays that have brought light and cheer to so many this season and in season past. I am told the value of these cables is over $5,000, but I don’t have official numbers for replacement at this time. I don’t know if the Lights has made enough money at this point to recover the costs for this season and replace the cables, she said.
