Mayor’s Message
We have been blessed with another “Holiday Lights in Motion” Christmas season and we are so fortunate. This committee of people and their volunteers do an excellent job of decorating Sportsmen’s Park and add so much to the glitter of the season in our community. It’s one more of the features that make Sleepy Eye a place where people want to come. I want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who had a hand in that effort. We are blessed to have you do the work you do. Andy Pelzel, Mike Suess and Shari Hittesdorf among others all get special accolades for heading up this effort. Thanks also to our businesses that sponsor events in the park in conjunction with Holiday Lights in Motion.
