We try to keep the show based on veterans. As we have many veterans in our own family that have served our country. So the theme of this show is one that we take pride in each year. We also ask that at this time of the year if you would like to donate ask that you not donate to us. But donate to a Veterans charity of your choice in the show’s name.

The Veterans Day light show runs a bit shorter than our other shows but we like to keep it up long enough that we feel the veterans from our neighborhood and the surrounding areas have had time to swing by and check us out.

Once we can find more songs that we believe can be used to pay tribute to our vets we can have a long-running show. But right now the songs are on a loop and you can come by and take a look around Veterans Day. Our Facebook Page usually has all the details for our show times during the holiday season. So be sure to give a like and a follow so you can be notified when we set up the dates and times each year.

In the News

We were excited back in 2020 when a local news station decided to interview us about our Veteran’s Day Light Show. You can see that story here.

Halloween Show

The Halloween show is a bit smaller than our Christmas show but only because we haven’t spent as much time on it. While we like Halloween it was until we introduced our Spooky Tree prop that we really started thinking this was a show we thought people would like to see.

Spooky Tree

The Spooky Tree prop is a 10ft tall 8.5ft wide decoration. The tree has 394 individually controlled pixels in him. That makes it looks like he singing along to the music. He is so big he needs guy wires. Yes, we said that right, it is called guy wired not guide wire.

Sometimes when it is really windy we have to lay him down as he can sometimes act as just a big sail. So we also put some fencing around him so people don’t get too close.

Our Clown Head

Our Clown head is also a major prop in our display that we got secondhand from a family member. All we did was replace his eyes with some pixels so we can give him the red evil eyes just a bit better. While he too is kind of big. It is also sometimes a chore to keep him mounted above the garage door at times.

2015

Around 2015 we started to switch our Christmas lights from incandescent to LEDs. To help save on the electricity bill for our favorite time of the year. But that didn’t last very long at all because at that time we started looking to add more lights.

2016

In 2016 we purchased some LOR light controllers. This allowed us to do so much more with our regular LED lights. It also allowed us to move away from just having a speaker playing music on our porch to having our own little radio station 89.3 well not our own but one we could broadcast our music to the people who came by and watched our show from their cars. These controllers also allowed us to pick how the music was synchronized to the lights.

2019

Then in 2019 we stepped up our light show to use pixels where we could not only sync the lights to the music but we could also control each light individually with a program called lights and new Falcon pixel controllers. This is also the first year we introduced a Halloween light show.

Each year since then we have tried to improve our show and make it more interactive for our viewers while keeping some of our favorite songs and also adding some new ones for everyone to enjoy.  We also have been testing out a feature that will allow you the audience to pick the next song that plays. You can learn more about that here.
