A heartfelt Thanksgiving thank-you goes out to all the wonderful individuals who help bring the Schatz Light Show to life each year. I can't thank my wife, Rhonda, enough for her incredible support—she and I both spend countless hours building props, pushing pixels in the shop, and installing all the lights and decorations around the house and yard.
I'm also so proud of my son, Christopher, for dedicating many hours this year to help out. A big thank-you to Andrew and Kayla Wilhelm from Texas at Tangled Lights Productions, who are truly the brains behind bringing the show to life. And to Nick Daniell from Georgia, who joined our team this year to support all the technical details—we've built not just a show, but a family. Rhonda and I even think of these amazing young folks as our own kids, and we can’t wait to have them back with us again.
The following individuals have supported us in many ways, past and present:
Ben and Cole Phillips (Phillips Sign)
Bill & Tammy Falasco and Bill Hudron (Harrington Parks and Rec)
Buddy Messick (J&B Electric)
