LEWISTON — The Downtown Lewiston Lighting Committee is spearheading an effort to “light up” a designated area of the city as a boost for the holidays.
During the winter of 2019, Kennedy Park looked striking decked out in a multitude of white lit globes. For the 2020 holiday season, the committee is focusing on Dufresne Plaza, which is named after Chief Justice Armand A. Dufresn, Jr.
To fully light up Dufresne Plaza this season, 53 globes are needed for adequate decoration. The public is invited to contribute to the effort — in the memory of or in tribute to someone — for a donation of $150 (the cost of an installed globe).

Suggestions for community members and businesses are:
* To remember a loved one * To recognize employees * To thank a veteran * To celebrate a graduate * To thank a local hero * To mark an engagement * To celebrate a wedding anniversary * To demonstrate love of community
A recognition page will also eventually be posted on the city of Lewiston website.
