Dazzling Christmas light show awes viewers while giving to nonprofit

Adam and Gena Birks will decorate for Christmas no matter what, so why not turn it into something that invests in the community?  

Birks, the director of lab sciences at Logan Health, has set up and produced a Christmas lights show at his home on 120 Sunset Court for nearly a decade, raising money for the Sparrow’s Nest of Northwest Montana — a nonprofit dedicated to providing safe and sustainable housing for unaccompanied homeless high school students in the Flathead Valley.  

The lights, synchronized to music and displayed on the house and across the front lawn, have raised nearly $10,000 over the years.
