Due to the storms that just rolled through, we have sustained major damage to the lights. I had planned to run the show through New Years Eve but that just won't be possible. Thank you so very much to everyone who came to see what we created this year! We truly appreciate your support with all of the kind comments and messages. We will rebuild and be back again next year!

From the McGhee family, we hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas and we wish you a very happy new year!

I just want to say thank you for everyone's support in what we do! When leaving the driveway seeing the smiles of little ones and for the second night now an assisted living bus, it makes us so incredibly happy! I just want to share as much joy and happiness to everyone that we can! Merry Christmas! The lights are on till 9 tonight!

The first organization we’re collecting for this year is Jefferson County Toys for Kids. This incredible local group provides gifts to registered families in need. They serve children from ages 0 to 17. From the last update I heard, they’re expecting to help even more families this year than ever before.

We have set a goal to sponsor 10 kids! ❤️

Ways to give:
•In the mailbox located in the barn driveway
•Venmo

We hope that everyone is having a wonderful start to the Christmas season! My shoulder is healing well and I was able to get a few lights up but they are only just doing a few patterns, no music. We will be back bigger than ever next year.

Make sure that you visit the other two display's in Mt Vernon, Christmas on Bellview and The Morgan's Light Show, both of their displays are fantastic as always!

Merry Christmas!

So this is a post I did not want to have to make. With life being so busy lately I was already behind on working on the show. This is heartbreaking for me to say this, but now due to a recent shoulder injury, there is absolutely no way I will be able to get them finished. So unfortunately there will be no show this year. I hope to have some of the lights up just doing simple patterns but that will be the extent this year. I want to thank everyone for the support the past couple of years and next year we will be back bigger than ever!!
