Show - Day 9
The display has ran without any problems since Friday November 24th. We continually add to the display when time and temperatures permit. We had a cold spell hit us last week taking us into the teens, very cold in my opinion, so we did not do much to the display. Last Thursday things started to warm up for us while the rest of the nation went into the same deep freeze, several other lighting enthusiast were hit hard either by wind, snow or ice and lost several component to their display.
Traffic has picked up from one car every 1/2 hour to 2 or 3 cars at a time on Saturday night. Unfortunately the Tots for Tots is not going as well as expected, we have yet to collect a single toy, aside from what we have placed into the bin. I am hoping this changes as the traffic to the display changes.
We installed 10-100 light balls into the tree and built the wire harnesses to power them, hoping to have them illuminated tonight. We installed the Candy Canes (18), they are not wired yet, not sure how we are going to set them up, Laura wants them all to be individually controlled but that will take another 1800 feet of SP2 wire. We have the channels available just not the wire.
We are still re-Sequencing last years music, still have several to complete.
Happy Holidays,

Just wanted to say thank you for the great show!! We found out about your house on Saturday and made it out there on Sunday evening. The kids loved it! DH and I were quite impressed. You have done a great job and it looks very classy.
We will be back to visit with gifts in hand some time this week. I've also passed on your info to a couple of local groups that I belong to (with a little hint about the Toys for Tots bin!)
