Many of the participating nonprofits earn their whole year's income just on opening weekend. Lights Spectacular supports our local nonprofits with a Nonprofit-Only Food Court on Opening Weekend and booth sales throughout the event. Many nonprofits earn enough money from the sales to fund their whole year. Lights has about 50K visitors each year who come to see our County Courthouse, Memorial Park & surrounding streets lit up with our famous display of thousands of twinkling lights. The opening weekend fireworks and parade alone bring in enough visitors for most nonprofits to only need to have a booth that one weekend. Others, like Project Graduation, sell hot chocolate next to the Santa line every weekend, and they earn a substantial amount of their yearly income at Lights Spectacular. 0 110898 We provide free visits with Santa for everyone every weekend from Thanksgiving to Christmas. We have thousands of children from local rural areas visit because it is free, fun and close to home. We also have the Grinch, decorated Christmas trees and other holiday activities for everyone to enjoy. 0 7327 Lights Spectacular awards college scholarships to local high school seniors each year from the net revenue earned through donations. 0 3000 121225 RAYETTE BIBLE CO CHAIR 10 0 0 0 SHEA BAKER SAWYER DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 LAURIE CANFIELD TREASURER 10.00 0 0 0 BART BURKHARD DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 SHANNON SMITH DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 TRICIA HARTMAN SECRETARY 2 0 0 0 JEANNE PARKER DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 SARA ALLEN DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 SARAH ALLEN DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 DIANA GONZALES DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 CADY SULTIMIER DIRECTOR 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LAURIE CANFIELD PO BOX 254 JOHNSON CITY TX 78636 2817235064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 57089 35370 72624 63556 123660 352299 645 528 66 0 0 1239 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 57734 35898 72690 63556 123660 353538 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 353538 0 0 0 1187 238 1425 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1187 238 1425 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 57734 35898 72690 64743 123898 354963 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 interest income $8 and points on credit card $230 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Scholarships awarded $3000.
