As 2020 comes to a close, one bright light will shine, or really 20,000 lights plus the 45 magical displays that grace the front lawn of the Hardin Administration Building at Midwestern State University.
The MSU-Burns Fantasy of Lights will continue its tradition of brightening the holiday season Monday, Nov. 23-Dec. 26. This year marks the 46th anniversary of MSU Texas’ association with the tradition begun by Wichita Falls businessman L.T. Burns and his wife Lillian in the 1920s.
For those visiting the lights, facial coverings will be required, along with practicing social distancing.
A new picture spot will debut this season, Santa’s Toys, thanks to the Rider High School Key Club.

Humble, ordinary items can become sacred artifacts when they are imbued with personal sentiment. The juried art show, “Memento: Art that Reminds Us” seeks to explore the objects that encapsulate a specific moment in our personal stories, and our attachment to those memories. 9th Street Studios assembled a panel of jurors from a variety of disciplines, who were not exclusively tied to the Wichita Falls Art Scene. The Call to Artists attracted submissions from all over the state of Texas, and as far away as Germany. The result is a bright and diverse selection of art that evokes emotion that only mementos can.
