$1,000 for Monongah to have Christmas lights in place

It will cost $1,000 to have the Christmas lights installed, not the $400 originally estimated.

The higher total came from Monongah mayor Greg Vandetta.

Susan Sanders is heading the fundraising drive to have the lights, donated by the town of White Hall, erected.

Greg said once the materials for the light installations are in the town's possession, the town will be able to have the decorations put up in about seven weeks. In time for Christmas.
