‘It’s gotten out of control’

Decorating for Christmas is a longstanding tradition in the Carlson household, and Gary Carlson, is sharing what he knows with the Clancy community.

The tradition began many years ago, in Bernice. Sitting in front of the Carlson home was a large spruce tree which the family would wrap in lights every Christmas. As drivers rounded the curve near Indian Head Rock, the glow of the tree was the only source of visible light, Gary said.

The memory left a lasting impression on him. Now, that glow has moved to the foothills outside of Clancy and has grown tremendously in size.
