Burt Fuller untangles and tests strings of lights Sunday at his Rock Falls home. Fuller has no idea how many lights he has, but he knows it’s a lot, thanks to an outpouring of support from the community. Fuller also credits his son, Danny Fuller, and nephew, Eric Wear, for their help decorating. Without them, he said, it’d never get done. — Burt Fuller untangles and tests strings of lights at his Rock Falls home in this undated file photo.
