LENGTH: Short :   22 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  Gene Dalton. 1.-3. It all started as 20 handmade 
          snowflakes hung on the trees over the Narrows Duck Pond. Now, five 
          years later, the entire drive along Virginia 61 is lined with 
          snowflakes and other seasonal lights ... some in the design of deer,
          others of geese and ducks, horses and a carriage. The project has 
          been carried out by Progress In Narrows Now, a group that has 
          solicited funds from the town and local civic groups for the 
          displays of light. According to PINN president Nancy Lloyd, they 
          have more than 25,000 lights illuminating the town from U.S. 460 to 
          the town limits. color.
