Young and old came together to light up Lady Lake with a display of Christmas lights. More than 300 people were welcomed by the emcee, Lady Lake’s Parks & Recreation Director Mike Burske, to the lighting ceremony. Mayor Jim Richards joined the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Steeple People gave a stirring rendition of “God Bless America.”
