Benton County Thanks Pastega Family and Volunteers for Years of Holiday Lights and Cheer

Benton County is bidding a heartfelt farewell to a beloved holiday tradition—the Pastega Christmas Light Display. This enchanting spectacle of twinkling lights and festive joy has been a cherished tradition at the Benton County Fairgrounds since 1981.

Tomi Douglas, the Director of Benton County Natural Areas and Parks, took a moment to express gratitude for Ken Pastega and the dedicated volunteers who have tirelessly upheld this tradition. In a gesture of appreciation, Douglas presented Pastega with an honorary key to the fairgrounds, recognizing decades of effort from the Pastega family in making the holidays truly special in Benton County.

"The work that Ken and the team have done to keep this tradition alive throughout the years is amazing, and we know this won't be the end of holiday traditions in Benton County,” Douglas said.
