Good morning Ledgers! A charity event in Switzerland attempted a Guinness World Record by assembling a mural from 300,000 Lego bricks.
The mural, which measures nearly 79 feet long and more than 6 feet tall, was assembled as part of the Swiss Telethon, which raised money for people living with rare genetic diseases. The mural, assembled in Yverdon-les-Bains, depicts various locations in Switzerland's North Vaud region.

Ledge Craft Lane to Close Christmas Eve…Is this Good Bye?
We Reported earlier that The Ledge Craft Lane, a Grand Ledge Landmark, was is some tough times and was looking for help.
Their boiler, which heats the building, gave up the ghost, as they say.
And as a result, they need an entire new heating and cooling system which cost nearly $30,000.
They are a non-profit, but their non-profit classification does not allow donations to be tax deductible.
This puts an economic strain on the establishment.
And due to this year’s above cold Temperatures they just cannot keep the building warm enough with the space heaters that they have right now.
They’ll be holding a silent auction to help raise money for the boilers on Dec 24th, but after that they are forced to close the doors temporarily until spring.

A Holly Jolly Surprise Coming to Fitzgerald Park 🎅✨
The Grand Ledge Lights Festival just got a major holiday upgrade — and it's bringing some serious magic with it this weekend.
The event has moved from Lincoln Brick Park to Fitzgerald Park and is now completely FREE for all families. But that's not even the best part.
A very special guest who wears red, checks his list twice, and travels by sleigh will be making a surprise appearance on Saturday, December 13, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. ✨
Organizers say the change happened fast, but it turned into the perfect gift for the community — more space, easier access, and no entry fee.
[Read the full story here] to learn more about the schedule, what to expect, and why this last-minute move might be the best thing to happen to the festival. 🎄🛷
