Dripping Springs needs money to light up Mercer Street

By Megan Wehring

DRIPPING SPRINGS — Community donations can go a long way, especially during the holiday season. The Dripping Springs Visitors Bureau (DSVB) is requesting donations to help fund the Light Up Historic Mercer Street Campaign.

The DSVB has raised enough money for the last two years to decorate each building along Mercer Street with festive lights. Last year, the organization created a seasonal photo opportunity for guests in front of the Mazama Coffee Co. To keep the holiday spirit alive, the DSVB is hoping to raise $9,000 this year to hang the lights at each Mercer Street business, install the photo-op and displays.
