Christmas Lights

Any good neighborhoods or streets or houses that must be seen with awesome Christmas light displays?

Lights are bright and shiney and...O Look a kitty

Niederman Farm on Lesourdesville West Chester Road has a free walk-thru display, plus farm animals for the kids to see/touch. Smith Park in Middletown has a large walk/drive-thru display. Both are open from 6 or 7 to 10 IIRC. A little bit north for most of you, but both are free & big.

Pyramid hill sculpture park ($20 bucks) has a fairly nice light display that you drive through with music. They are located in Hamilton, Ohio.

isn't there some guy up your way that puts on a helluva light show every year? it even made the national news last year.

His house got shut down two years ago, maybe?... in a beer commercial that year, IIRC. I thought that he had a pay-to-drive-through display?? that was not continued this year.

Mini-broadcast of Trans-Siberian-Orchestra song in sync with the lights... I think it may have been Pete (83bronc?) that posted it up two years ago, I thought it was awesome, found out that it wasn't too far from where I work... missed it by 15 minutes one night... got shut down soon after. :(

The guy lived in my brother-in-laws neighborhood just a couple streets away. They shut it down because the whole neighborhood turned into a giant traffic jam every evening and the residents couldn't get in and out of their houses, and there were several fender benders. I'm not sure where it is, but I believe he has it set up somewhere else.

Yes Brad I believe it was me.
It was in the big park in mason but I do not know if it was continued this year or not.

It's amazing what sticks in my head and what just slips out like ice cream on a hot summer day. I have no idea why I remember that. Dinner two nights ago... no idea.

someone at my church has a big display in Hamilton, over 50,000 lights but I can't remember the street name.:confused:

I think Cincinnati Zoo does a wonderful Christmas display. Plus they put on a few shows and have ice skating for the kids at a reasonable price.

carwash · 12-12-2008, 03:16 PM

Yes, the zoo...

We just became members this year. Will be doing the Festival of Lights probably next weekend. Can't wait.

MrShoeBoy · 12-13-2008, 04:01 PM

So the light festival at the zoo is pretty good? I have been to the zoo several times in the last year and each time was a blast. I will have to check that out.
