1:51pm today the final bulb was removed from the house.

All that remains is to sort things out into containers and pack them away! 

Spent two hours last night tearing down the display. By 12:25am, a majority of the display had been removed. By nightfall tonight, there will have been no sign of a display ever having been here.

Again, thank you to all who came out this year. (And a special thank you to the young girl on Christmas Eve. I was across the street when you did what you did. Thank you.) 

Just over two hours from now the display will start to come down. It's been a fun year, but I'm ready to pack everything away and take a break!

The display will shut down on Friday night, 12/28/2007 at 10:30pm.

This will be the last night for the display to be operational. 

If you're local to the display, now is a great time to watch all 16 songs in rotation. If 40 cars came by tonight, I'd be stunned.

The display will be running through Friday night. 

It's slow out there tonight. Much slower than last year.

We're running a few more songs per hour, but will continue to run until midnight even with no traffic. 

It was a fairly busy night tonight, by far the busiest that it's been all year.

2006 it rained on Christmas Eve ... and traffic on Christmas night was around the corner. We'll probably stick to two songs at a time until Wednesday night. This will help keep traffic moving on the street, and hopefully keep the roadway open. 

Got an email last night from someone who visited the display:

My husband drove our family by to see your display tonight.  It was wonderful!  We could have stayed much longer and I've enjoyed the videos on your web site!

Which I guess is good news. *Knock on wood* we've had no major technical issues this year.

Some rain in the forecast this week may bring some downtime, though.

The shows have been modified for weekend traffic. For a few hours on Friday and Saturday the number of songs have been reduced to 4. This is to help with the traffic that builds during this time. Best time to see *all* songs is during the week, or *late* on the weekend.  

There are now 15 songs in the display this year. (There is one more that I may or may not add to the playlist this year.)

Please note: Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights. There are times in the evening where the playlist has been shortened to 4 songs, to help with the traffic flow.  

In the first week already had people yelling at each other in the street. Seems one car decided to stop in the middle of the road.

If you're coming out the see the display, please don't be that guy!

The display is 100% up and running!

First night traffic has been moderate all night long. Possible weather this weekend, though ... the shows may not run.

Aside from the signs for the radio frequency, the display is set up.

Weather permitting, lights will go on tomorrow night.
