Residents in Crystal Falls also note their exciting displays and lights in the Niagara River Drive Neighbors Light Up Christmas event. Participating organizers state “Hundreds of cars, trucks, and yes, even a busses full of kids or seniors occasionally, make the residents happy and proud that they can do something to see smiles and hear laughter.”
