We ran the show through New Year's day. Weather was great the following day, so we took it all down. It took 2 of us about 3 hours to get it all down, but probably several days to get garage floor space back!! Some props will be retired, some need fixing, some will be sold, and some new will be added for next year. It keeps it exciting! We did what we had to do this year despite weather issues, a big family vacation, and other roadblocks.
I also met with my friend Paul and purchased a lot of good items still left over from his King Christmas display which was discontinued last year. I am happy to re-use great stuff from other local decorators, and look forward to possibly sell and pass on stuff I don't need as well. If anyone locally is thinking about getting into this hobby, I would be more than happy to show you what its all about. Check out my YouTube channel as well for some of my videos. I know of at least one local large-scale decorator who is throwing in the towel at the conclusion of this season, but I know of at least one new one this year as well. Hopefully there will always be new beginnings to replace to sad endings.
I still moderate a Facebook group titled "Upstate NY holiday lighting group" which allows other enthusiasts in NY to connect. We added a bunch of people from all over including Binghamton, Syracuse, Niagara Falls, and more. There is still interest in having a meet, so we'll have to see if that is still feasible and try to make it happen. It's another great way to keep in touch with everyone.
