Attendees also stopped by the gift shop to pick up last-minute Christmas gifts for their loved ones.

Hundreds of luminary lights lit up the pathways to the Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum on Monday, Dec. 23 as part of the Luminary Lights & Ornament Decorating event. The rows of luminaries made for a delightful sight ahead of the Christmas holiday and led the way to a family fun event for all to enjoy.
