3 Months people!

Difficult to focus on Christmas with day 46 of 100 degree heat!
However the preparations have begun to take place.
I plan on adding a some cool stuff  including a curtain of lights at the entrance along with Missiles! That's right not Mistle but missile. No idea how that is going to turn out but can't wait to start building them.

Several Christmas in July specials are about to end hence I need to jump on those.

A kind patron dropped off decorations for the trail the other day. No idea who but  heck yes!

Pete's Trail of Lights...6.5 months to go...yikes!

Seems like the trail of lights has matured into quite a holiday landmark.
I was at a local eatery this past week when a patron started discussing the guy in Circle C with the trail of lights.

With a mere 6.5 months left until the fun begins, the pre-ordering begins!
Some of the wholesalers offer a 20% discount which obviously is a nice incentive.
We will have many more overhead lights this season along with several walls of lights.

I placed several post-Christmas sale orders. Is it wrong that I never remember what I order?
That's sort of the insane fun I have with all of this. There is no plan!

I have some cool new ideas/plans for walkways and props.
That's all for now.....

Tonight is the finale!

Last night to walk the trail of lights!
This year has been so rewarding in many ways. I was sharing a few stories with a buddy of mine last night. He had some inspiring insight which I had not thought of.
Folks are so grateful. This was our first year to take donations both monetary and clothing.
I was blown away. The money will go towards new lights, Pedernales Electric, donations to YMCA, Angel House and Mobile Loaves.

I have some great ideas for next year. Thanks for all your feedback. Feel free to drop off clothing donations (mens), toiletries, blankets, back packs, etc all year long. Also, I will take any Christmas outdoor decor and lights as donations for next season.

I have already began making purchases for next season. We will begin in October!

Open for business!

The trail is up and running. A few lights here and there but 95% ready!

The Trail should be open tonight

Keep your fingers crossed. Looks like the rain event has subsided drastically.....

I plan on keep the lights on through January 1st!

Trail closed tonight.....

At this point and with a 90% chance of rain, odds are the trail will be closed tonight....
