And then add likely MILES of additional electrical wiring above ground to hook everything in for synchronization. We use the Light-O-Rama software to program everything.

You've got to be part of Planet Christmas, no?
Yes, we had many people donate to the show last year, which was incredible. We ordered our lights through Christmas Lights, Inc. through Mike Parsons. We got a really great deal, about $11 per set of 100 lights, which is as good a deal as we could find.
Yeah, that is good
@Jeff Westover I don't think we are yet. We've definitely been on their site though.
What you're doing is pretty technical for someone like me
Not only in time and in money but in technical expertise that has to be learned
It has very technical aspects involved for sure. We're always thinking ahead how we can expand in upcoming years. Hoping to do something BIG for our 15th year.
I'm sure you didn't start out knowing all this stuff
We understand well the tradition of traditions and big milestone years around here
Exactly. Kevin learned how to do the electrical wiring. Meeks Electric was able to help with a few things as needed too. Daniel was self-taught on the computerization of the lights.
Do you have more to announce? 15 years is an accomplishment
It would be cool if one year you could put together a video of your creation process
and it is a "creation"
Well, we're hoping to one year expand even more lights, and hopefully get DMX lighting installed. That would be incredible!
What is DMX?
Too excited not to share, this was the story from last year which can give you some insight into their dedication. https://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Br...n-Family-Christmas-Spectacular-513178221.html
I think what i'm enjoying most in how you are talking is that I feel a lot of Christmas spirit
You're like a kid on Christmas morning!
DMX includes spotlights, including theatrical-type lighting. We're hoping to one day include maybe some huge spotlights for the yard too, which is Daniel's dream!
