The show which ended New Years Eve at 11:30 PM was the last of the year. And what a year it was. More people visited the display this year than any year previous. A big THANK YOU to all of my neighbors for their patience as they had to deal with the increased traffic in the neighborhood, and a sincere apology to any of them (and their visiting friends or families) that may have gotten stuck in the line of cars waiting to see the display.
Tear down of the display is already underway, and a significant portion of the display has already been pulled up and hauled in (but not yet put away). Plans for the 2010 display are already being made. What will be new or different next year? We'll have to wait and see.....
Be sure to check out the pictures and videos that have been posted of this years display.
