The Gay family of Union Vale have once again donated to our Legion Post. They've held the Guinness World Record for most lights on a residential property since 2014. This year the couple displayed more than 720,000 lights all programmed to music in order to celebrate the holiday season in style. It’s an impressive display.

This is the 3rd year they have generously donated to our post. If you know the Gay’s make sure you thank them for their gift of $500.00.
