We’ve seen the signs for this light show every holiday season since moving to Ohio and each year we’ve said we should check it out. This week we finally did! While it was nice to stay warm in the car, getting good shots was difficult because you have to stay in your car and cannot stop. Well, you can try a stop but those lined up behind you might not take the pause in traffic too well.
After exiting the light displays, if you choose, you can go across the road to a RV park that hosts the Santa house where there is free hot chocolate, cookies and photos with Santa; no driving and lots of happy laughing children.
It was outside of the Santa house that I saw this amazing “tree.” From a distance I thought someone had done a bang up job decorating a living tree until I walked closer and saw that it was one big decoration. How wonderfully unique! I’d love to have one like it but probably the assembly, storage and keeping it from tipping over in my yard would be a bit much.
But it was so pretty on this winter’s night.

Ho ho ho 🙂
Cool! They do this at the NASCAR track in NH and it’s a big attraction. We’ve not gone because of the whole “no-stopping” thing. Cheers!
Sounds interesting and that no-stopping thing is a buzz kill. Thanks.
That’s my take. They would likely have a fit if I pulled over and started setting up my tripod.
They had signs out that said do NOT get out of the car! But the zoo has a light display until Jan 2nd so I might amble over there if the weather allows.
Stone Zoo has something similar. It’s supposed to be freezing this week. I just agreed to give a friend a tour of the lights in Boston on Wednesday night. I think we will freeze. There will be no tripod that night.
One of my photo groups went earlier this week and I wish I had gone. It was on one of the better nights weather wise. Stay warm!
They have the River of Lights at the Bio Park out here, which is very similar. I went one year some years ago and that was enough for me.
I’m one and done too.
Merry Christmas my friend!
The Christmas light show was wonderful!
We have one of these close by. The other day we drove by on our way to dinner… there had to be 400 cars lined up.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy every moment.
I’ve seen it so I’m good! Enjoy your Christmas too 🙂
Oh my goodness I love this. So festival and christmasy:)
Thank you.
