Lester Perreault, left, talks to Linda Bagley as she arrives with her contribution to the “Fence of Wreaths” on Bank Street next to the former Lebanon Junior High School building in Lebanon, N.H., on Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021. Perreault has been clearing and maintaining a three-mile stretch of road since he moved back to Lebanon in July and decided to organize the wreath display, encouraging individuals and alumni groups to contribute wreaths, to lift community spirits in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We just need something to make us feel good,” he said. “If it makes one person smile, I’ve done what I set out to do.” At 5:00 p.m. on December 23rd, Perreault will be lighting about 400 candles along the fence to illuminate the wreaths.
