Lights are officially on and the show is running as planned.

WOW, the expected 3-4 days of assembly turned into 5 full days and nights.  The new leaping arches in the display took quite some time as I had to assemble the custom extension cords and there was a significant amount of testing that had to take place on the display.  Adding more lights every year is starting to use all of our available power so it is a bit of a game to move channels around to locations where it'll be safe.  But, for 2008, it is done.  Maybe we'll start thinking about LEDs for 2009 to help reduce power needs.   Who knows.

We started putting up the lights today.  It'll likely take 3-4 days to get everything out and tested.

Sequencing has begun on the first of hopefully 4 new songs for the 2008 Season.

Display was taken down and stored away today.   It just about took all day, but we got it done.

Toy Drive was finally concluded on Sunday night.   Toys have been delivered to the ACO and pics will follow shortly regarding the deliveries.

We've decided to change our shows a little bit.  I have 1 song that has gone haywire so it had to be removed.  As well, traffic is still light so we will be showing all songs, every night.   This could change as traffic increases but for now we'd like for our viewers to get to experience as much as possible when coming out.

Finally got some of the 2007 video (3) up on the site.   More will follow later as footage that I had was tainted by cars driving by and lights not blinking on cue.

We forged a partnership with a local organization for a toy drive.  We'll have the donation box out starting tonight.

Finally got around to adding a few pics of our 2007 display.    Videos have been taken too but I have to dub in the audio.   Most likely this weekend.

Website has undergone a minor revision.  We've added this Update page as well as a page with a few surveys.   We'd like to get some input from our visitors so we can always work to improve the experience.

Shows kicked off as planned.   There were a few hiccups that I notices.   I'll be working to fix those this weekend. 

3 new songs have been sequenced and approximately 90% of the setup is complete, which is good, because it has just about wore me out.   I'll be finishing up the last little bit tomorrow, running it through a test and will get it setup to kick off a full show on Thanksgiving Night.

Well, we were sad to see the 2006 Holiday Season pass, alas, it has. We really had a blast with our 1st year of computer animation. Without a doubt, our favorite part was seeing smiles on kids faces and getting to meet many new friends.

We stocked up with the after Christmas decoration sales and have already begun planning for the 2007 season.
