Vilas County & the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance voted to use donated safety funds for beacon lighting. It will be installed at the entrance/exit of lakes. They will flash red, green & white. This should help riders find the exit off the lake. Clubs are installing. Right click on the announcement to enlarge.
