Wow…St. Pete has a house that could outshine the Griswalds. Our friend Pug Baker told Robert about the house, so we decided to visit it last night. The homeowners started a modest light display in 1977 and boy has it grown! Three electric meters are needed to handle the power of over 500,000 lights.
When you get to the street, you are greeted by some nice people directing traffic. They give you a little card talking about the display and direct you to where you can park. They encourage you to park and walk through the display to see all the details, as it’s not only lights, but numerous displays and scenes set up by the homeowners.
We walked through their 1/2 acre property and saw numerous inflatables, a stuffed animal zoo, a singing snowman, a fiber-optic forest, and model train cities…just to name a few. They seem to get a lot of visitors each night and their display runs to January 3rd. If you are in the area, it’s worth a look. At least visit their website http://www.christmasdisplay.org/.
Hope you enjoy as much as we did. Merry Christmas!!
