Two parades down, more to go!

The Tilbury Santa parade is Friday.

Immediately following the parade, stick around for the Tilbury Lions Christmas Light Festival. The lights get turned on for the first time at approximately 8-8:30pm. It’s the 5th season with live entertainment on the Tilbury Auto Mall stage, visits with Santa and holiday mascots, yummy treats, and games, all free! The lights will be on nightly from 5:30-11pm, until January 5th.

The sun set in Utqiagvik, Alaska on Saturday and won’t rise again until 1:03 pm on January 23, 2024. That’s 66 days without seeing the sun.

Utqiagvik, formerly known as Barrow, Alaska is the northernmost city in North America.

In addition to the two months of darkness, there are an average of 160 days per year below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. There are, on average, 4,500 residents year-round that live there.

A number of other locations in Alaska will move into polar night in the next couple of weeks. On the flipside, you can be sitting on your porch at midnight midsummer, drinking a glass of beer, with the sun shining in the sky and lighting up the land.

This is a morbid thought.
