Once again, homeowner Mike Yellak, 2040 Greenawalds Ave., Greenawalds, South Whitehall, has set up his free huge holiday light display, “Lights in Greenawalds” for all to enjoy.
Yellak began this year’s display on Nov. 9 with a large crowd in attendance.
A “Special Needs/Handicapped Night“ was held Dec. 5.
ARC of the Lehigh Valley sponsored the program so adults and children with special needs and disabilities could see the Lights and meet Santa, The Grinch and a Yeti in an inclusive environment.
Lights in Greenawalds runs until Dec. 22.
