An $8,000 donation from Glacier Park, Inc. will help the Columbia Falls Lions Club purchase new holiday streetlights for 2010.
The local Lions' three-year fundraising campaign had fallen short by that amount.
"This donation is an expression of our pride in the Town of Columbia Falls," GPI President and General Manager Cindy Ognjanov said. "We hope this enhancement to our town's annual tradition of holiday streetlights will bring enjoyment to residents and visitors next winter and beyond."
