Mid October

Mid way through the month, map and page are doing great, getting more attention in the media, local news and radio have made mention of us and our endeavors so that is nice.

We hope for more extended coverage for the next holiday season, to help the page grow even further.

Page visits

This year Halloween traffic to our page and map is crazy..... over 40k visits in the last week.... What have I created.....I am glad we have new systems in place, I would not have been able to manage this on my own without a functional page and the sponsorship that brought it to life
We are...

Display Vandalism/Theft

I really don't know what the heck is wrong with people and world today that finds these behaviors acceptable at any level.....
But we are continuing to get reports of displays being vandalized or items stolen (many of these issues have happened before they were on the map BTW)
Damaging...

Commercial Displays and Halloween

This year to save us time and headaches, we've limited the amount of commercial displays we have listed,

1. Most are not family friendly

Christmas

Christmas is for everyone, young and old, religious or not, it should be a time of joy, but yet for many it's a time of pain,...

One Last weekend before the holiday

Here we are, nearing the finish line of the holiday season, as the holiday is next week. Most displays will run until at least New Years, but this weekend will be the busiest of them all as EVERYONE wants to see lights BEFORE the holiday.
Keep in mind those BUSY displays will be just as...

Display comments

We found an interesting development today, a display was called out about their display and it's over commercialization of the holiday in the comments on a post they made on their page.... Today that comment is hidden or deleted. It wasn't an outright negative comment, nor would have violated any...
