It’s that time of year again for our parade of lights. This year we will be just going around the town of Derry and ending up at 603 brewery in Londonderry. I’m looking to get permission to meetup and decorate at the entrance to the town dump and then go around town. We have gotten a bigger turnout each time year so let’s make this event even bigger than last year.
