FAQ’S
How long is the light show?
The show this year lasts about 40 minutes with an end of show intermission of approximately 20 minutes. The best time for video is anytime during the show and the best time for pictures is the end of show intermission between shows when the lights are steady on (there will be no music being played during intermission).
How many lights are there?
This year we have 28,728 lights and 2500 feet of extension cords!
How long did it take to put together?
This year it took us about 600 man-hours (about 550 man-hours to put up the lights and another 50 man-hours to program)
How/What can we donate?
We have been asked this a lot lately! Believe it or not, our electric bill does not go up that much thanks to using 95% LED lights. The LED lights are what is so expensive and we are constantly having to repair/replace them.
If you would like to donate, we are always looking for solid colored LED lights (all sizes and colors EXCEPT warm white as we do not use those) and LED rope lights (solid colors except warm white). If you are in the area, feel free to drop them off (just leave them on the porch if we are not here).
We are also on the hunt for any gingerbread or candy decorations. We are trying to nail down a theme and Bridget loves gingerbread men. Huge thanks to one of our neighbors who dropped off several cutouts of gingerbread men at the end of the 2015 show which is Bridget’s favorite (unbeknownst to him)! We still need to paint them and hope to put them in next year’s show.

So, how many times did you need to go back to the store for more lights? We enjoyed the light show! Thanks for putting it on!
