Church fundraising program aims to line downtown Yachats with luminarias during Winter Solstice
Downtown Yachats will shine extra bright Monday, Dec. 21, when hundreds of paper lanterns called luminarias will festoon the sidewalks to celebrate people who have been a “point of light” in others’ lives. The lanterns — a Southwestern U.S. tradition — are simply paper bags, weighted down with sand, and lit with small candles. A fundraising event by Yachats Community
