Winter Glow Spectacular

The city, with the help of commercial sponsors and many volunteers, has put up the first Spokane Winter Glow Spectacular in Riverfront Park. It kicked off Friday evening by the carrousel in a steady drizzle with the music of the Gonzaga Prep Jazz Choir. The mayor and CEO of Avista threw the switch to turn on 30 lighted displays set up around the park and the hardy crowd that had gathered dispersed to walk around through the lights. Mayor David Condon said it was an effort to bring back the downtown's cheery decor of bygone eras when families trekked downtown to see decorated windows and twinkling lights in the trees.
