MAIN PHOTO: One of two Holiday Lights Tour trolleys turns north from Flossmoor Road onto Sterling Avenue to give riders a chance to see the holiday light display in downtown Flossmoor. The tour of downtown and residential light displays was the first year of what organizers hope will become a tradition. The tour was full a day after signup was announced, so event managers Stephanie Wright of Flossmoor, inset left, and Marla Youngblood of Homewood, inset right, expect to need more than two trolleys next year. CENTER INSET: Danielle Ragland announces that her young son Campbell's favorite display was the "Wonka house" at 2327 Hutchison Road in Flossmoor, which is decorated with themes from the film, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

Eric Crump started his first newspaper with his best friend when he was 9. It was four pages and folded after one issue. Possibly as many as two or three people read it. In 2014, about 46 years later, he started another paper, the H-F Chronicle, which is still going and has a few more readers.
