Piled 7 of us in the Minivan tonight and went to the the light show, very nice and would recomend. especially the multi-colored led tunnel, my fav. take your time and drive slow and stop and take pics, fried dough and a picture with santa at the end. watch out for the shark!:cool:

Took my grandchildren ( 4 and 5 yrs old) to this on Saturday night. Pretty impressive, or at least the kids thought so. I wouldn't want to get their December electric bill!

We went Saturday night and was not that impressed, was thinking there was going to be a lot more lights. At least the money is going to charity. I spoke with a lady running the cash register and she said it is doing better than they expected.She mentioned 900 cars went through last Saturday.

If they said it's doing better than expected, then the economy can't be all that bad, not if people have the money to spend on seeing lights when they can just drive around town for a couple gallons worth of gas, and look at houses lit up.

Don't kid yourself, it's still bad.

They are young enough to love the show.

Me? I'm an old NH native and I thrive on originality. Everything was canned, so I think it was tacky............................:rolleye2:
