People can help light up Salem

Salem’s Christmas light display contest encouraged citizens to participate with those displays being featured at the Light Up Salem Night. This custom lent to a Christmas trolley ride that not only enhanced the spirit of Christmas throughout the city but has become a favorite event for families and groups. With the contest being a part of Salem’s past and without a deadline for completion of displays, some displays have been missed on the trolley route which has to be planned ahead of time. The Salem Historical Society is asking the citizens in Salem for their help in locating homes that can be part of the tours. Call 337-8514 with tips of a home, what street and possible homeowner’s name of a light displays. If the site could be worked into the tour, the museum will try to contact the home owners to notify them of the trolley route in order that they can be sure to have their display lit up for the evening.
