The lighted garland signaling the beginning of the holiday season was strung across the streets of downtown Whitefish Sunday morning.

A group of dedicated volunteers have been repairing, replacing, improving and hanging and taking down those same decorations every winter season.

The nonprofit Whitefish Shines takes donations for the materials to keep the tradition alive. To donate to the decoration project, Whitefish Shines, P.O. Box 695 Whitefish, MT 59937.
