GLENCOE, Ill. (WLS) -- Two women are suing the north suburban Chicago Botanic Garden and the company that operates its holiday lights event.

They say a Glencoe lights display fell on them and their children.



The plaintiffs claim the Lightscape incident on Dec. 20 left them with injuries, including broken bones.
