A Tri-Cities holiday tradition has come to an end as the company that put it on has embarked on a new chapter.
Lawn care provider Senske Services announced via its social media that the Senske Holiday Light Show will not take place this year. The light show, which had up to 500,000 lights, was a decades-long annual event at the company’s offices at 400 N. Quay St. in Kennewick.
Streams of cars often would jockey for a spot to watch the holiday lights and displays that were synced to music on the radio. Senske also encouraged food donations to share with Second Harvest.
The change comes from Senske’s relocating its corporate headquarters to Dallas, Texas.
While the company continues to serve the Tri-Cities and has operations based out of the warehouse near its former headquarters, a local company representative told the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business that it no longer occupies the office building whose grounds once hosted the light show.
“We’re deeply grateful to our community for the incredible memories, smiles and holiday cheer you’ve shared with us throughout the years,” the company said in its statement. “It’s been our privilege to celebrate the season together and bring a little extra sparkle to the holidays.”
Senske encourages those looking for a festive holiday show to visit the Winter Wonderland display at Richland’s John Dam Plaza.
