Hello to everyone! Hope everyone had a great summer.
First let me get some bad news out of the way.
I unfortunately do to my schedule will not be able to decorate for Halloween this year.
My plan is to do it next year.
Now to the good news. As I told a good many of people last year that my intention was not to do Christmas decorations this year. But as I said above that my schedule has changed to give me enough time to be able to decorate this year.
I know that this is early but my tentative opening night will be December 16th.
Unfortunately it looks like ìt will not be on after December 25th.

One of the questions I get is when do you start. Well the pictures below are from yesterday when I started moving all the stuff nobody sees. These are the over 50 pallets, plywood and other pieces of wood that I use up on the different roofs to allow me to decorate.

So September 12 this year, with many more to come. 🎄

Hello to all.
First let me start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has visited and everyone who has made a donation, thank you.
Tonight December 26th will unfortunately probably the last night the lights will be on.
They will be on from 5pm to around 11pm.
For those that do come tonight please exit the far end of Fairview Drive and follow Phillips drive to hillside.
Also please do not turn around in the neighbors driveways. Please just continue around the block as it greatly helps with traffic flow.
Hope to see everyone and Merry Christmas 🎅.

Hello to all,

After spending a couple of hours outside this morning, I believe I can get the lights on tonight.
However with the amount of work to get everything up still to do , I won't be able to open till around 5pm tonight.
As before please park on the right side of the street. Please do not turn around on Fairview. Please continue to the end of the street ,turn right on Phillips, follow it to hillside turn left, top of the hill turn right on dawn and that takes you back to route 1.
Please drive slowly and dress warmly.
Please be careful when walking ,there is some ice in the yard.
Also I did lose some things to the ice and wind so there might be so holes in the display where things are missing or some of the blowups might not be up.

12/22/2022

Hello to all.
As many of you probably have already guessed but because of the weather we will not be open tonight Thursday Dec 22nd and Friday December 23rd. My goal is to have it up by 2 or 3 pm on Saturday the 24th. I will post around noon on Saturday what time I anticipate it be up running .
Lastly, once again if the lights are off,
Please don't knock on my front door to ask when the lights will be on, it happened another half a dozen times the last 2 nights.

Thank you.

Hello to all.
We will NOT be open tonight, Wednesday December 21st.
I had hoped to open tomorrow night but it looks like the weather will not corporate.
I will wait until tomorrow to make a final decision.
So with that being said unfortunately it looks like I will only be able to have it up on the 24th, 25th and 26th.
People have asked why so few nights that the lights are on. Well I love that it has become so popular but with that comes a lot more traffic ( I get around 1500 people a night) and the problems that come with that. I can no longer turn the lights on when I'm not physically there to police the traffic. I have a job that has me working nights and traveling out of town 3 nights a week, that is the reason for the limited amount of nights and I'm sorry that it makes it more difficult for everyone to come an experience the lights. I hope when I set them up again I will have a better schedule for everyone to come visit .

12/19/2022

Hello.
WE WILL NOT BE OPEN TONIGHT, MONDAY DECEMBER 19TH. IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON PLEASE DO NOT COME AND KNOCK ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Please read.

Good morning. We will be open tonight Sunday December 18th. Our opening night was a big success but brought up some issues with traffic.
First, I live on a section of a street that has no curbs or sidewalks which forces you to walk in part of the street, so when you do park please keep an eye out and please walk on the side with the no parking signs.
There's very limited parking on Fairview Drive so if you can park on hillside lane it's less than a 2 minute walk to the house.
Please drive slowly on Fairview Drive as there's a lot of foot traffic.
If you do park on Fairview Drive please park on the right side of the street, you will see no parking signs on the other side.
We are trying to make sure a lane is always available for an emergency vehicle in case of emergency.
If you do park on Fairview Drive, Please after your visit, when you leave please continue to the end of Fairview Drive .
At the stop sign PLEASE DO NOT TURN AROUND AND COME BACK DOWN FAIRVIEW DRIVE. Please take a right on Phillips drive and follow Phillips to the stop sign on hillside lane. ( less than a minute)
At hillside please take a left and go to the top of the hill to the stop sign. At the stop sign take a right on dawn drive and it will take you right back to route 1.The whole drive will take less than 2 minutes and will help with the traffic congestion.
Lastly the turnout on opening night was overwhelming at times. Between 5:30 and
8:30 there were close to a 1000 people who
came by, you can only imagine how much traffic and congestion there was, so I'm asking if possible to come later in the evening to hopefully make it a little easier for everyone. That amount of traffic in such a short time frame makes it unsafe at times.
I have looked into getting help with the traffic, unfortunately the local police are understaffed and can't help, I also looked into private security but the quotes I received were very expensive ( 1000, for 2 guys for 3 hours for 1 night). That was a little too much for me but if anyone out there that might know of anyone that might be able to help please contact me.

Sorry for the long post but with the volume of people coming now we must all try and work together and be safe. Always please remember that I have neighbors who have to put up with the traffic congestion, please be considerent to what they have to put up with.

Thank everyone for your interest and dress warmly tonight as they are calling for a cold evening. See you tonight.
