Unfortunately I have NOT been busy working on the Christmas Light show. Our company has added a number of new properties, I have taken on some committee and council work that has had me tied up with budgets and the like. All excuses for not spending time on the show. […]
On April 27, 2024 I was able to attend the annual get together of Christmas lighting enthusiasts from all over the Pacific Northwest. Affectionately this meeting is called C.L.A.P. which stands for Christmas Light Addiction Problem. No this wasn’t a 12 step program meeting (although maybe it should or could […]
I am currently working on putting “seed” pixels into a high density prop for the 2024 season. So what is a seed pixel? Seed pixels are the same technology that we use for the vast majority of lighting in the display only they are much smaller and quite a bit […]

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, […]
