11/30/13 - The 30th Annual Fantasy of Lights in Howell last night was, by all accounts, a huge success. Thousands of happy spectators lined Grand River Avenue to see the procession of floats and other parade entries, along with marching bands, at the event. Fantasy of Lights Director and Howell Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Michelle Tokan tells WHMI that the thousands of lights on each float made for some awesome visual displays. Among the winners were the Grand Marshal Award, which went to Toys for Tots, the Cobb-Hall Insurance Major Sponsor Award, which was won by the Salvation Army and the Mayorâs Award, garnered by Military Families United. The annual Fantasy of Lights holiday event is hosted by the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation. The major sponsor is Cobb-Hall Insurance. The Fantasy of Lights is one of the biggest events of the year in Howell, topped only by the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, which is held during the summer.
