I didn't think it would get here...but wow!Thanks to everyone out on these forums for all your help and advice. I've spent tons of time reading out the posts and I tell ya if you need to know something or need a little nudge to keep moving, the folks out here are just great!A few cars have sat and watched and beeped their horn. I can hear kids giggling and everyone having a good time. Pretty cool! I feel like its Academy Award night... or something pretty awesome anyway!Thanks again!

scubado Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is my second year with twice the channels and more than double the lights and enjoying it 4x more. Last night I qued up all my slower songs to video record them when I thought it would be quiet outside, there was a dad with his two kids watching. I offered to put on some faster songs, but they said it was fine. They stayed for a few songs. Since the lights are more popular this year, next year I will start collecting donations. Seeing all the people enjoying the lights really helps motivate you to get through the grunt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
