!Collingwood Lights update!

NO DISPLAY IN 2012
For 21 years I have decorated my home for Christmas. As my display
has grown so has the amount of work involved in setting it up. I'm sure
everyone knows it is not a small undertaking, but I doubt anyone,except
my family, is actually aware of the commitment involved. This is a year
around project, but the actual set up last year was well over 300
hours.The work begins in mid Sept. and, with fingers crossed, culminates
with light up on December 1st. In years past I have been blessed with
being able to take the entire month of November off from work to work
full time on the display but sadly, this year has been very different.
After spending most of the summer agonizing over the whole thing it
became glaringly apparent that this years display just could not be
pulled off and that for the first time in over 20 years the December
nights will seem a little colder and a little darker on Collingwood Rd.
My hope is that those who read this will pass the information on so
others are not disappointed by a wasted trip to see the lights. God
willing, next year we will be back with a display that is even bigger
and brighter than ever!
Merry Christmas,
Bill Vaughan
