Symphony in Lights of Snowman Way is back up and running and will finish out the schedule for the year starting tonight, Thursday, Dec 28, with "Holiday Medley" at 7, 8, and 9pm! Saturday's showing of the music of "Frozen" will be the last opportunity to see it as the show is being retired after this year.


The "Symphony in Lights of Snowman (Wise) Way" has been dark since last Thursday. Unfortunately, rabbits gnawed on my data cables and extension cords, and we have been dark since last Thursday. I have had to replace all the data cables and some extension cords. We are having to unplug all the lights and bring in each controller and hook them up individually to the computer to run diagnostic tests. I am hoping to have the lights up and running tonight, Christmas Eve, but I can't guarantee that as we still have a bug in the system somewhere. Wouldn't you know it would be Christmas weekend when the rabbits decided to have a banquet on the wires!

However, the response to the article in the paper was amazing last night with well over two hundred cars and golf carts! AJ, a neighbor of mine, was a huge help to me in explaining to all the people who came expecting to see the lights what had happened. They dropped off a lot of food for the St. Theresa Food Bank.

Many people commented on the wonderful "Snowman Way" drive, wanting to know where and how we got so many adorable Snowmen, and how magical it was driving in.

I will post again when the lights are back up and running!

So disappointing for you, I'm sure. Maybe next year will be better. There must be something you can sprinkle in your grass to deter rabbits from coming onto your property, without really hurting them. Good luck for next year. Merry Christmas.

I know it would be a chore, but wrapping cords in aluminum foil will deer them.

Beautiful display. Thank you. We also learned the hard way to lift the cords up off the ground a foot or a little higher. Also any switches, etc. wrap in foil.

Any update on getting this running? We love your display so much!

Sorry to hear that...I know personally how frustrating that is as they have chewed up at least 8 of my cables this year (up north). I will definitely have to plan better next year. I hope you get the show running soon!

Yeah, I have two miles of extension cords and a mile and a half of data cable.
