The lighted garland signaling the beginning of the holiday season was strung across the streets of downtown Whitefish Sunday morning.
Volunteers hoisted up the garland punctuated with red bells, snowflakes and wreaths that have become an iconic scene that many know so well. For more than 50 years the winter decorations have brightened Whitefish.
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.
