This holiday season, Lake Region Electric Cooperative and Lake Region Fiber were proud to launch the inaugural Lake Region Light Contest, inviting members to show off their Christmas spirit by lighting up their homes and businesses for all to enjoy. From bold, music-filled displays with inflatables to timeless scenes glowing with twinkling lights, our communities truly embraced the joy of the season.
The carolers performed beloved holiday classics, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Deck the Halls, filling the morning air with warmth, nostalgia, and holiday spirit. Their enthusiasm and energy reminded us all of the magic of the season and the joy that comes from coming together as a community.

Last but certainly not least, we want to thank Larry Morgan and his team for preparing the meal so we could all break bread together.
