2021. Easier way to decorate to get more involved?
penguins1 replied to Chuck's topic in Lights, Lights, Lights!
Another reason i don’t do flashing lights (first two reasons are time and I’m cheap) is that I actually like to look at the lights. Some of the new stuff is getting ridiculous. Looks more like a TV outside vs a light show. -

Yeah - there’s probably something. It seems most of the “easy up” type of stuff would be expensive. I guess that’s also why blow molds were popular, wire frames, etc. Ideally there’s something that fits into a smallish box but is plug and play and makes a big splash. -

I think this is what has made inflatables so popular. Plug them in, big coverage then they go into a tiny box. Same for the laser dots... I don’t do any music due to the time and money. The pre-programmed stuff would be cool but probably more than I would ever pay!! -
These are both awesome!! Nice finds!!

Pole-Mounted Blow Mold Reindeer Head?

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have all had a great day. I wanted to share some pictures of my display. Still no where near where most of you are but getting bigger every year. Such a fun hobby. Will be time to take it down soon which stinks. It always goes too fast!! I’ll fix my upside down pictures from my laptop tomorrow!!

It snowed so here are a couple pics of display
penguins1 replied to shane page's topic in Plywood/Coro Cutouts
No - always had the brochures for that place but never got there. Is it still open?? -
I had one gfi tripping this evening. Found the culprit - an extension cord I had forgotten to stake that was facing upwards and full of water!! Got that sorted out and everything up and running!!

I love Lake George... I live in Texas now but grew up in downstate NY and we would go to Lake George on vacation every summer. No snow here in Texas!!
