I don't know about you, but I seem to be finding fewer Christmas lights glowing from rooftops this year. Folks might be trying to save some money by not plugging in the electronic cheer. That makes driving the neighborhoods less rewarding for those of us who like to load up in the front-wheel-drive sleigh, listen to Christmas music, and enjoy the wonderment that comes from exterior illumination.
**Special thanks to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for the allusions.
What we need is a strategy for finding the best Christmas light displays in and around Conway. I have a suggestion for your first stop. The "Holiday Festival of Light" that is in its fourth year at the Centennial Bank Soccer Park located about a mile west of Walmart on Dave Ward Dr. From six until nine nightly, you will find a mile of Christmas lights, music, and food. Santa is available for pictures with the kiddos, and there is a huge model train display sponsored by the Conway Model Railroad Club. The cost is $5 per carload, but you can get a season pass for $25 and $60 makes you a member and gets you all kinds of extra goodies.
I invite you to comment below with recommendations of neighborhoods, streets, or individual houses that have decorated themselves up right for the season. Please give a description of what we will find and directions on how to get there.

Norbert Circle off of S Donaghey has a great display. Lights set to music.
ReplyDeleteNorbert Circle has a real display of neighborliness. The homeowners in the circle collaborate to make their collective homes' light displays work together.
ReplyDeleteOh, and don't forget to drop by the home in Woodland heights. You'll know it when you see it... think clark W. Griswold on loads of eggnog! And sit for a few and watch a Christmas movie right there on the lawn screen.
I found another one last night. Tony Circle right up Grummer Ln from Norbert Circle has a BIG display. Catherine's Place seems to be the place for Christmas lights this year.
