We were very happy that so many were able to get their pictures taken with
Santa and Mrs. Claus, and tell what they wanted for Christmas.

Countdown Clock
We built a countdown clock in 2008. It displayed the Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds until Christmas!
It contains about 3000 bulbs and 57 computer controlled channels running on software we wrote in Visual Basic.

Here is a quick clip of our Snowman's Toy Factory from 2007.
Snowballs are shoveled into the factury chute, where they are processed
and come out as Teddy Bears. The bears go down a conveyor where they drop
into a box, which is then tossed into the train for delivery. The conveyor
belts aren't working as I'd like , since they were built
with these lights. After the seaon, we will have to rebuild the belts,
as we already have rebuilt the snowflakes and snowballs.
