A return to normal at the Christmas Wonderland display in Alton's Rock Spring Park is being planned. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a scaled-back display in 2020, but the crowds still came out in big numbers to support the effort. The Grandpa Gang is the group that volunteers their time to set up the display and keep it running for the month or so it’s open. Head Grandpa Dick Alford tells The Big Z with the pandemic hopefully wrapping up, they hope to bring back some of the things that were missing last year.
