Dylan Carlson with Eagle Crane puts up Christmas lights on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, on top of the 105-foot-tall community Christmas tree in Buckley Park as Rich Carlson operates the crane. The two first took down the old lights, then Durango Business Improvement District Executive Director Tim Walsworth makes sure the lights work before new or old lights go back on the tree. The lights will be turned on during the BID Singing with Santa events on Nov. 24 in downtown Durango. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
