Before bringing your string lights, please remove ALL hooks, batteries and ornaments. This event is for lights only so please recycle any light boxes at home.
And this year, Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties have re-upped their friendly race to see which can collect the most holiday lights. In last year’s competition, Kenton County took home the top prize, with all three counties collectively diverting more than 3,000 pounds of holiday lights from the landfill.
