*The lights are synchronized
to a radio station 88.7. This is the best
way to enjoy the lights! You need to be in
the cul-de-sac to tune into the station.
*There are over 265,000 lights
connected to over 6 miles of extension
cord.
*It took over 3 months to put up the
lights, but we work on the display year
round.
*There are around 170 blowmolds
around the yard (haven't made the final
count yet), along with 128 computer
controlled channels.
*This year's show runs for about a
half
hour featuring 6 songs.
*Each
song takes between 10 to 50 hours to
sequence.
*
Lights come on at 5:30 PM and stay on until
12:00 PM, weekdays and weekends.
*Donations collected will
go to Children's Hospital Research Center.
*We have been seen on
The Ellen Degeneres Show, WTAE-Channel
4 News, WPXI Channel 11 News, KDKA
Channel 2 News, MSNBC with
Keith Oberman, CNN, and The Pittsburgh-Post
Gazette.
* Don't
forget to be courteous to our neighbors, and
not to block driveways and to also keep your
stereo in your car at an acceptable level
