My wife and I were in Highland Park Village last night — for the first time since Christmas — and I couldn’t help but notice that all of the trees are still lit up. So I asked Village spokeswoman Kersten Rettig what the deal was; are the lights not being taken down after New Year’s anymore?
“We do remove them, but since it’s been so cold, and February is a romantic month, Ray and Heather [Washburne] want them left on until the end of the month,” Rettig said. “It’s so beautiful.”
Indeed.
