Hard to believe that the Christmas Lighting Season is coming to a close. All that work and the 5 weeks are over now. Tonight, New Years Eve, will be the final night for the lights. They will run until just after Midnight. If you can, come on by and check them out and enjoy the […]
It’s Opening Day of the Christmas Lighting Season and as of 5pm tonight, they lights have sprang to life! If you get the chance to drop by and see the lights… be sure to tune to 107.5fm to “hear” the lights. If not, check out the Web Cam page for a look at the lights. […]
Well, it’s as good as it’s gonna get for now I guess. I still have a few static items to put out, but with the ground so frozen, I still cant stake them in the ground, so they will have to wait. Other than that, I think we’re a go for 5pm tomorrow. The computer […]
As we sit right now we are 96.4% complete this year! All of our 7 controllers are plugged in and working properly. We just have a few smaller things to get done plus putting out the Cross & Angels as well as the Merry Christmas sign (which I think is going to have to have […]
This past Monday we got our window frames up. Yesterday we got the roof lights up (1500+ of them), got them plugged in and hooked to the computer so they are ready to go! Things are coming along nicely with only 28 days to go until Lights Up! We hope to get a bunch more […]

I got this message via Facebook last night and wanted to share it with everyone. It is the reason why I do this year after year… “I finally found your house and took a video of your beautiful lights for my dad to see……little things like that I think help make him feel a little […]
SO last night our lights ran perfectly for the 2nd straight night… we’re about 30 minutes from them coming on tonight and it’s snowing!! WOOHOO! The lights always look so much better with snow on the ground and on them. Can’t wait to see it!
So, as of about 4:30pm this evening we have been running an 8 or 9 song light show. So far so good. Never really happy with my sequences, but they look kinda cool. Just glad to finally have something working… let’s see if it stays that way! 🙂
So we are in a “Wait & See” pattern right now. On Tuesday we ordered a new USB RS485 adapter, which will hopefully allow us to talk to our remaining controllers and hopefully the one that is at the very least, partially fried. I have talked to a couple people that thinks that it should […]
