Luminaries were the best ever in Matlacha

1 min read

To the editor:

2,500 luminaries covered all of Matlacha, including Pine Island business section, Buccaneer Island and Dolphins Resort; making the 39th year-tradition an astonishingly Christmas event!

We thank John and Cheryl Honc for generously donating the sand, and to the elves who assembled and distributed the luminaries. Thank you to the homes that were decorated with the holiday lights, an added feature that expanded our motto, “Let’s Light Up Matlacha.”

The weather was perfect and many neighbors made an evening of enjoying the “never-ending,” warm glow of the luminaries, and ended their stroll through Matlacha with their annual “live” Nativity setting, music and treats sponsored by CW Fudge Factory.
