This home owner has done a light show for several years. We like it because they usually do the Transiberian Orchestra Carol of the Bells. When you pull in front of the house, there will be a sign telling you which call numbers to set your radio to, so you can hear the music.

In addition to the lights there are seven elves hiding about the display to see if you can find them. Additionally there is a Nativity story that repeats through the show that is done to lights and sound.

Show is from end of November to beginning of January. The best way to see the show is driving down Fulton St slowly and dial your radio station to 88.7. Showtimes are daily from 5:00 - 11:00 and run continuously every 15 minuets. Here is a small sampling of the show. Donations benefit Make a Wish.

The Motz family does this show. They have enhanced our FM transmission and video; plus other songs that will help them all get into the spirit of the season.

This year will be their 9th year of synchronizing lights to music and our 5th year accepting donations to give back to our community.

Over the last three years they have partnered with the Lititz Fire Company to help them purchase the equipment that will help those when tragedy strikes. All the equipment and cost of putting on the light show is provided by them, so all the donations and business support go directly to the fire company. They invite everyone to bring children of all ages and although we will still have the interactive buttons everyone can enjoy the lights from the safety of their vehicle.
