Financial concerns have canceled this year's Annual Celebration of Lights at Hartwood Acres. Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald made the announcement this afternoon. He said in a statement that the holiday tradition, which started in 1991, was just too expensive.
It is rumored that the County heard about Jan Klein's 6.9% raise and is trying to help cut back. I heard someone mumbling something about Mt. Lebanon's 20 administrators receiving raises. But that is just a rumor I heard.
