Marshall Christmas Committee

01/10/2026

We want to take this time to thank everyone for their continued support of the Festival of Lights! Without this great community the lights would not be what they are today!

This year was tough for the committee as we lost our dear friend and committee member Greg Keller. Greg was a one of a kind person and his presence has been missed deeply this year. His love for his community showed with everything he did. We told many “Greg” stories as we worked this year holding on to the good times we had with him.

Happy New Year from the Marshall Christmas Committee, wishing you all a blessed 2026!
