Tom, Great having you out. I might have to see what else i have hiding under there. And i am sad to announce i think this the end of steel city christmas. just got word yesterday that i need back surgery again. I had surgery last june to repair a severely herniated disc and was pain free up until about 4 months ago. Right now, as Tom can tell ya, i am having a hard time walking and have a bad limp. I am trying to make the difficult decision to part with about 90% of what i have. I think i need to make a lifestyle change to protect my back from any further damage and removing the 4 months of setup and teardown will probably help with that. I am waiting to hear from the dr office on when my surgery is scheduled and then will decide on either selling before or after surgery. I dont have many molds left to sell, but got a ton of lights, extension cords and a few controllers. its been a great run and have met a lot of great people along the way, but with the time out of work (unpaid) and the strain on my back it loks like i dont have a choice bob

last year we had 265,000. we have a few ideas for next year bob

The local news came out and did a short story last night. Thought i would share http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/video/26154625/detail.html bob

thanks everyone. here are some daytime pics for everyone to enjoy bob

ernie, Thanks alot bob

didnt you buy enough when you were here? lol are you gonna stop out this year? you will have to let me know

all the candy canes and lolipops were sold except 2. they all went to local pc memebers. no more candy man ;( but i can still be the light man bob

Roger, It has been a tough year, nut i am definitely happy to see some lights on the house again bob

I was able to get the display up and got just a few molds out there this year. Not a bad summer. was able to replace mickey,minnie,tigger. also found the 3 stooges and 2 lifesize empire peeps with original boxes bob http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-523194

I put a piece of rebar into the ground and slide the mold right over top of it. Havent had one fall over yet with this method. I dont like using wire to tie them to a stake because the mold will rub on the wire and scratch up the paint. bob

just wanted to share some more publicity we got after last years crazy display. last year they came to our house to shoot some pictures and do a story. It is in this months issue of redbook magazine. Also featured is PC member cuonebay (hallum's house of lights) here is the link to check it out online http://www.redbookmag.com/recipes-home/tips-advice/christmas-lights-photo-gallery[url="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redbookmag.com%2Frecipes-home%2Ftips-advice%2Fchristmas-lights-photo-gallery%3Fclick%3Dmain_sr&h=7b9be"]

Jim, I dont know if you can still call me the candy man. i only have 2 lolipops left after the great blowmold sell off earlier this year.
