The sad news was posted on Facebook by the family responsible for the community tradition, the Warrell family.

The post reads in part, "The Warrell's Elderberry Lights - A Heartfelt Thank You and the hardest thing we have ever had to write. After 16 amazing years of bringing holiday cheer to our community, the Warrell's Elderberry Lights will not be returning this year. While the show has always been a true labor of love, the time has come for us to take a much-needed break. Many of the lights, props, and equipment have served us faithfully for years but are now long overdue for rebuilding or replacement - so the timing just feels right."
