Our 31th Year

                                                                           

Thanks for another great year.  My surgery recovery took a little longer than planned

so a special thanks goes out to my family and friends that helped keep the display

going.  The early December storm destroyed the Candy Cane loader but it will be back

up and running next year.  Through it all we managed to give away over 10,000 Candy

Canes.

Thanks to your continued generosity we collected $162.  As promised we will match

that and send a check to the St. Joseph foundation.

Happy Holidays and thanks for stopping by. See you next year.

Interactive operation

The train will start if you flash your high beams at Santa

If you want to park your car, you may press the red button underneath the "History" flyer box.

The train will make 1 revolution around the track and stop in the same place.  

Press the button or flash your high beams again for another revolution.

When the train stops, you are welcome to a candy cane from the candy cane car.

When sensors detect more candy canes are needed, the train will stop momentarily in front of the loader

      (unless the loader is empty).  A yellow light will flash during loading.  When finished, the train will proceed

      to its normal stopping point.

Candy Cane donations are always welcome.  All money donations are matched (up to $500) and sent

to St. Joseph's Foundation to benefit the children in our community.
