By David Rogers. BLOWING ROCK, N.C. — Anyone who ever asked whether the Town of Blowing Rock hired monkeys to string the holiday lights all the way to the top of Memorial Park and downtown trees now have their answer. No monkeys, but workmen in hydraulic lift equipment like that used by utility companies are good for the job, as witnessed by Blowing Rock News on Nov. 5.
It is all in preparation for “Lighting of the Town” at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 24, a highlight of numerous downtown and Memorial Park activities that day.
