We have started getting the sequences (songs) ready for the 2023 Season. We are happy to let you know that there are going to be quite a few of them… some traditional that you will know and be able to sing along with and others that you may have never […]
We are heading into Crunch time now. (The countdown timer on the main page is freaking me out a bit.) You will start to see us put things onto the hillside. We have the poles for the trees up already, the matrix is up, today my helpers were working on […]
Just added some moving heads to this sequence. Charlees Props provided the base sequence that we mapped over to our display… added a few elements here and there… tweaked a bit and ultimately this is what we get. This will be in our Sunday night show for 2023.
The past couple of days I have been working on the triple arches that will be replacing the single arches in the show this year. The arches will have a common base but there will be 3 hoops on each one. The outer hoop is 43 lights, middle is 41, […]

This is probably one of my least favorite aspects of the Christmas lighting hobby. All of those little lights that are put into the props have to get there somehow. The process involves a pair of gloves, some strong hands and when you get sore and tired a tool of […]
Do you recognize this? Ummm… ya.. me neither! This is what happens when a 3D print goes bad. I was printing a triple arch support for my replacement arches and apparently I didn’t get good adhesion between the print bed and the arch support it was printing. Sometime in the […]
