Once again this year, the residents of Fountain Circle have brightened the north side of Urbana with a neighborhood Christmas light display. Whimsical creatures including reindeer, bears, frogs and other animals glisten in front yards. One house has stuffed its basketball net with colored Christmas bulbs. Fountain Circle is located at the east end of Boyce Street on the way to the Urbana High School track.
