A group of folks in Cotter led by a belief that a little joy can go a long way have put the town on the White River in lights this Christmas season — a whole bunch of lights.
Christmas in Cotter is a one-evening festival set for Saturday. Mayor George “Mac” Caradine says this is the second year for Christmas in Cotter at Big Spring Park.
