Our show runs from 5:15 until 9:00pm on school nights, and until 10:00pm on non-school nights. It is running pretty smoothly with only a few occasional hiccups. We may run it longer on the holiday weekends.

People ask us, have preparations begun for the upcoming season? The truth is, they began before last season was over!! We are always looking for new and exciting things for our show. Pictures and details coming soon.
We hope you have enjoyed our show. While we ran into a few problems this year, which prevented us from taking the time to expand our playlist, we still had a great time. Tonight will be our last night for the season, with extended hours till 11pm. We look forward to doing it again next year!!
Stop by and see the show!! We were off to a rocky start this year due to a faulty GFCI breaker, but now everything seems to be running stable. There are currently 3 songs in the show, with more to come!! Let us know what you think and what you would like to see more of.
The weather is not cooperating and we are still chasing down ground faults. Sorry, no show yet.
The show is officially delayed. Already behind on programming, and then we had a power outage today. Couldn't work on the show. Once the power came back on several hours later, I discovered that it had fried the computer power supply as well as network router. Repairs are all but complete but it will take some time for testing and programming. Official release of the show is pushed back until 12/1. If that changes we will let folks know.
Here we are days before the show unveiling and things are not quite ready. Mother nature hit us with a blast of winter snow and sustained gusty winds. Luckily all outside cabling and wiring was completed before the snow came, and nothing suffered any wind damage (It pays to get an early start sometimes!!) Still have to put up our signs, test our new show computer, and finish some songs. We still hope to spread holiday cheer by this weekend. Here goes nothing!!
We have changed a few things for this year, and it's not all ready. Building 2 pixel controllers, 2 power injection boxes, 4 window frames, 9 gutter sections, 2 more arches, a new show computer, additional exterior electrical outlets, 8 RGB trees, and more. Lots of soldering, mounting, zip-tying, and programming. Will the show be ready in time? Only time will tell!! By making a shopping list and purchasing your needed components yourself, you have the ability to save enormous amounts of money on this hobby. It takes a lot more effort and dedication, but in the end is rewarding. Besides, there aren't too many consumer stores to buy this type of stuff anyway!! (I may or may not have some supplies currently on a freighter in the Pacific Ocean!)
