It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Mattoon. Friday is opening night for the 25th anniversary of Mattoon Lightworks, in Peterson Park. Hours are 5-9 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 5-10 pm on Friday and Saturday. There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated. And, the annual Christmas parade is this Saturday. Line up begins at noon at 21st and Western Avenue, and the parade will begin at 1:00.
