✨ What a night! ✨ Our first-ever College Night at the Legendary Lights of Clifton Mill was a huge success, and we loved seeing so much school spirit and community pride all in one place! 🎓🌟 This special night was our way of saying thank you to the many area colleges and universities that support Clifton Mill and help drive visitors to small local businesses throughout the year. We’re grateful for the energy, the laughter, and the amazing spirit that made the night so memorable! https://cliftonmill.com/christmas-lights/ #CliftonMill #LegendaryLights #CollegeNight #SchoolSpirit
