Northern Lights Festival Delayed

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. - The opening and official light up for the first "Northern Lights  Festival has been delayed by one day. 

Northern Lights Festival Coordinator, Joel Koette says there wer some "electricial issues", but the problems will be straightened out  to reset the official light up for Thursday at 5:00 on Connaught Hill.  The site will then be opened to the public at  7:00.  Those  times are a full 24 hours  later than the original light up and opening  plans.

Koette says  it seems there was miscommunication between the Festival organizers and the staff installing the  necessary electrical  equipment.  "Since this is our first Festival it is to be expected that there might be some glitches, but  it has really come together with the  assistance of the City,  Initiatives Prince George,  City Centre Centures and the rest of our soponsors.  It really  is going to be gorgeous and should be an excellent  display."

The  Connaught  Hill  display was  supposed to start at the same time as the official light up  in the Civic Centre Square which is set for this evening.  That  Civic Centre Square light up will go ahead as sheduled  at  7:00 this evening.
