Commerce lights up Anchorage
Monday kicked-off of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce's City of Lights program.
Every winter, volunteers string up white lights around Anchorage. Residents are also encouraged to light their homes and business in white lights.
This year the Chamber of Commerce is encouraging people to be energy efficient.
"We're encouraging all of our members to use LED energy-efficient lights," said Anchorage Chamber of Commerce President Stacey Schubert. "Because we use 250,000 lights, it's not affordable for us to do that right now, but we are encouraging individuals and businesses to do that."
The Chamber of Commerce will did not hold a ceremony this year. Instead, they say they celebrated by having a day-long kick-off.
