Anyone know if Cottom Farms will have their Christmas lights this year. Seems like I heard that they weren't doing it anymore. We will soon have visors and would like to take them to see the lights.

Awhile back I read somewhere (The Sun or one of those magazines we have around TV) something about the Christmas Lights. I'd suspect that if they weren't going to do it anymore there'd be an article about it!!

The Cottom farm with all the Christmas lights is not in Leesburg.
Go east on Griffin Road(light at the Shell & BP stations on 441/27) to County Rd 25(traffic light) and turn left. Go to Marion County Road and turn right (east). The farm is about 3-4 miles on your right.

We were there tonight. The hayrides are started. Most all the lights are on, but they said they still have a few more to put up. Manger, toy soldiers, etc.
Very pretty.

Freeda, the web site lists the address as being in Weirsdale. Is it the same place you're referencing???

Whoops, yes it is apparently, and in fact obviously, in Weirsdale - NOT in Leesburg!

I'll confess that we were driven there by friends last year after dinner and two, ok maybe three (it was the holidays), glasses of wine (but not our driver), and after traversing dark country roads I could have sworn I was in the countryside near Leesburg!

Thanks for the correction!
