It is with great sadness that we have decided to end the Prospect Light Show after seven years and approximately 259 shows. ๐Ÿ˜ž Jimbo had an injury last year that will prevent the set up and tear down of the equipment and props.

We have a lot of memories and much to be thankful for. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป We raised over $15,000 dollars for St. Judes Children Hospital, we hosted Santa Claus ๐ŸŽ… and watched thousands of boys and girls, sing and dance while watching our show. ๐Ÿฅฐ

This all started with a few lights decorating our house then Jimbo found out that "Hey...I can make these few lights DANCE to music." ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ•บThe very next year there was a non-programmed 8 circuit simple light show in our front yard. ๐Ÿ˜†

When we moved to Prospect, Jimbo decided to raise the bar and we went from a few โ€œdancingโ€ lights to a fully programmed show with the songs and lights to the music that you recognize over the past few years. In the final years we had a 30 minute show, with eight songs, thousands of LED lights, hundreds of circuits, multiple controllers and miles of extension cords. โค๏ธ

We have had a great time creating and growing the Prospect Light Show and we want to thank everyone who came out and supported us. ๐Ÿ˜ Thanks for choosing to come to our show to make Christmas memories with your friends and families.

We wish you all the best and hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„

It saddens me to report that the Prospect Light Show will NOT be running this year. ๐Ÿ˜”

This spring when taking down the 30 foot tree, the wind unexpectedly caught the tree and to avoid getting hit by this 100 pound pole Jim pushed it to the side and immediately knew something was wrong.๐Ÿค•

Jim ended up injuring his left arm and spent the summer in recovery. Then unexpectedly, five months later, he ended up injuring is right arm in a separate incident. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

As you know, the preparation for the show starts in July with it gearing up in October and we have not been able to do any prep work to date. So this years show is a NO GO. โ˜น๏ธ

I will still post a list of 2022 Light Shows in the area to make it easier for families to plan a night for viewing. ๐ŸŽ…

So much time, money and preparation goes into these shows so we hope that you will continue to support the many passionate Light Show contributors in our area. ๐Ÿฅณ

We wish you all a very blessed holiday season. ๐Ÿฅฐ

This is official the last day of the year. Historically, it is a time of reflection and a time to set goals for the upcoming year. ๐Ÿค”

Those who decide to create a Christmas Light Show are a little wonky. ๐Ÿคช (IMO) They are wired differently so to speak. The โ€œlight show seasonโ€ in itself, is short but the โ€œ planningโ€ season is long.

We received a message from another show in our area who summed it up perfectly. โ€œ6 months of planning, 3 months of building, 4 weeks of lights and then it all gets put away.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ž

Jim turned off the show on Monday and on Tuesday started talking about next year and immediately started added to his ongoing list. ๐Ÿฅด

He is committed to a 2022 show and it will start on Thanksgiving Day and end the Monday after Christmas, that is all I can tell you for certain, everything else is still clanking around in his head and I am not sure where it will land. ๐Ÿ˜‹

My job in all of this is to communicate to all of you. ๐Ÿ˜ณ As we ring in the New year I would like to thank all the people who support not only our show but the many great shows in the Cedar Vally. We are blessed ๐Ÿ˜‡ with so many. ๐Ÿ’œ

I also WANT to send a huge THANK YOU ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป to our gracious NEIGHBORS who put up with the traffic, loud stereos and over 50,000 flashing lights. ๐Ÿ˜‚ They are the best!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’›

A special shout out to Bear and Joanie (Jessie Gress Ott )who make us smile ๐Ÿ˜Š and keeps Jim on his toes. ๐Ÿ˜‰ He does this mostly for the children and they bring us the most joy!

Until next year, please be well and may everyone stay safe!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜˜

Thanks for another great year!!๐Ÿฅฐ
