A Christmas tradition running 50 years strong in Lackawanna County will once again light up the night sky. SIMPSON, Pa. — It's not Christmas in this part of Lackawanna County until the giant North Star is lit up high up on the hill above Simpson in Fell Township. You can see it, and you can feel it and you can understand the Christmas spirit again," said Simpson resident Joe Kluck. Joe Scotchlas does. So, the community got together, a couple of the members in town, and created the Simpson star," explained Joe Scotchlas from the Simpson Industrial Redevelopment Company, the rebranded Simpson Chamber of Commerce, which started the tradition.
