Redgranite Advancement Association held their Hometown Holiday “Lights for Snipe” celebration to honor the memory of Harold Koch (Snipe), who served as Redgranite’s Street Superintendent for over 20 years on Dec. 6. Lights for Snipe pays tribute to his time and talents he showed our village, especially around the holiday season.
