See Merrill’s small-town charm sparkle this holiday season! This year, those who reserve a seat on the Tour of Lights Bus Ride will be the judges of Merrill's second Holiday Decorating Contest! Seats must be reserved in advance. Each year, the Merrill-Go-Round picks up riders at their homes, or anywhere they'd like in Merrill, and takes them on a bus ride to tour the City, and see homes and businesses that are decorated for the holidays. The duration of the tour is about two hours or less. The Tour of Lights Bus Ride is free for the public to ride, and it is fun for all ages. To reserve your seat, you must call Merrill Transit at (715) 536-7112. A limited number of seats are available, so be sure to book yours as soon as possible.
