Many people enjoyed seeing the Home Lighting Contest winners this past weekend leaving from Santa’s Village at the Mission Viejo Civic Center on board the Mission Viejo Activities Committee’s first “Holly Trolley.” After savoring a sweet reception, folks enjoyed a fun-filled excursion to view the 2011 Holiday Lights Tour.
