Connor Daly, 8, and Grant Hertzing, 10, both of Carbondale, share a moment while dressed as wise men Saturday on the First Presbyterian Church of Carbondale’s float in the Carbondale Lights Fantastic Parade on South Wall Street.

The pair have been coming to the parade for three years and said they look forward to seeing the colorful lights every year.

The annual event has been a Carbondale tradition for 26 years.
