Strolling Lights, Feeding Neighbors

By Jamie Kauffold | Nov. 15, 2025

Help those in need by decorating a tree at the fifth annual Strolling Lights Festival in Glen Arbor! By sponsoring a tree for $150, you’re helping the Empire Area Food Pantry, which serves those who are struggling to put food on their tables. (Monetary donations can also be made online.) With the funds raised, Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District hopes to increase the amount of protein, flour, and sugar on hand at the pantry, as well as help four-legged family members who often go unfed when finances are tight. Tree decorating starts Nov. 21, and the public can view them Thanksgiving weekend through the New Year. crystalriveroutfitters.com
