[Mpls] Let there be Peace!

[Connie Beckers]

On Sunday, November 20, residents of the 3600 block of Xerxes Avenue
North will celebrate the start of winter with its Let There Be Peace
Lighting Ceremony.  The Cleveland Neighborhood Association will
provide refreshments, beginning at 6:30 p.m.  Lighting will occur at
7 p.m.  All are invited to attend.

The 3600 Block Club of Xerxes Avenue North began its tradition of
displaying "Let There Be Peace" lights along Victory Memorial
Parkway in North Minneapolis to share a message of hope for area
residents.  The eight foot high letters are lit each evening and are
presented across the front yards of homes along this block.  These
lights help demonstrate that hope is alive in the community and help
inspire others to create a positive influence in all parts of the
City of Minneapolis and especially North Minneapolis.

Visitors from across the metropolitan area travel to enjoy the
holiday lights that decorate Victory Memorial Parkway. This may be
the last year for the "Let There Be Peace" sign, so please visit and
let others know about the Lighting Ceremony and the nightly
presentation through the end of December.

The 3600 block of Xerxes Avenue North is located just east of
Victory Memorial Parkway in North Minneapolis.
