DULUTH, Minn. - We are only 10 days out from the opening night of Bentleyville.Volunteers tested out the lights Wednesday as they put the last minute touches on the holiday display.Creator Nathan Bentley says they really struggled getting enough help to make it happen this year."If we didn't have that core group of what I call our young retired volunteers that are able to come here during the daytime, even stay in the evening, we would really be in a snowball," he said. This year will feature many new displays including Paul Bunyon, a pavilion and nativity scene and LED rope lighting. Santa Claus himself will be skydiving into Bentleyville on Nov. 22. You're asked to bring a non-perishable food item or a toy if you plan on going.
