The Y in South Lake Tahoe is getting a little brighter.

Eleven boxes of lights, each containing 48 strings that are 8 feet long started to be strung Dec. 1 on a large tree at the Factory Stores at the Y. South Tahoe firefighters didn’t have enough time before nightfall to finish getting all the LED lights on so they will be back today to finish the job.

South Lake Tahoe Fire Department Division Chief Marty Scheuerman was watching as his guys on the ladder truck decorated the tree — a first for the town. He said it was City Manager Tony O’Rourke’s idea to “dress up” the town a bit with some holiday spirit.

    I think the lighted trees idea is good. I also think it is inviting. Left year round and extended through town, it might even encourage evening strolls to see what the town has to offer.
