 Well, many homes this time of the year are decked out with lights and wreaths to celebrate the holiday season. In this week's Northwood's adventure, our Josh Peterson shows us how you can tour some of the most festive homes in the area. This time of year, you can see an array of festive holiday decorations on just about every street. Some houses are dressed in white lights, while some are covered with a kaleidoscope of color. But being able to find some of those best lit homes can be a challenge. That is why the First City of Lights Tour of Homes is back for a second year. The reaction to our tour was phenomenal, huge. We had 13,000 views and shares and it was just a positive response from the community. So we decided, hey, let's do it again and see if we can make it better. New for this year's tour is a partnership formed with an area radio station to help set the mood and atmosphere as families drive around taking in the sights and now the sounds of the holiday season. This year, you can tune into 95.5 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and hear nonstop Christmas music while you're out on your tour. So prime tour times after dark until it gets a little bit later in the evening. After its inaugural year, many participants have returned for a second time to take part in the Tour of Homes, stepping up their game adding new special effects to this year's displays. Lake Bemidji Bed and Breakfast returned for the tour this year, adding new elements to their displays like additional lights and Christmas trees. And next year I got some ideas to enhance it even more so each year we're going to try to build a little bit more onto it but it really is a lot of fun. For the Beardslees, the tour is a great opportunity to bring a community together and help put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Kind of, you know, giving a little bit back to the community so they can drive by and then we get a lot of people drive by here especially after dark, you know, and it just kind of feels like the thing to do and I love doing it. Whether you like the traditional look, the added effects of modern technology or the flashy twinkle and shimmer, this year's tour has something for just about everyone.
