Nonprofit Colorado Youth Outdoors’ Winter Wonderland Goes Green  

By

FORT COLLINS — Colorado Youth Outdoors’  NoCo Winter Wonderland drive-through Christmas display is going green. 

The 15-minute tour features 19 light displays with 500,000 lights. It runs from 5 to 8:45 p.m., from Nov. 28 through Dec. 31 at 4927 County Road 36,  near the intersection of Larimer County Road 5 and Kechter Road in Fort Collins.  Tickets are available from coloradoyo.org/events/ for $25 per vehicle, according to a news release.

The annual display, which is a fundraiser for CYO, comes to life on the nonprofit’s 220-acre property.  Instead of being gas-powered, the display is all electric this year. Area businesses teamed up to convert CYO’s one-mile-long route to quiet, environmentally friendly, all-electric power, the release stated.
