There Is Still Time To See The Light... Show.

The Sertoma Christmas in the Park is their best show yet. 

I am not sure when the tradition of light displays through Oak Park in Minot North Dakota started but I know it was well before I moved here twenty years ago. Over the years it has been pretty static as who (what businesses) participated in it with the exception of a good boost during the "oil boom" years.

HOWEVER this year it's seemed to have boomed once again. The little clip below is from my dash-cam and is of low quality but it gives you a little idea of all the action going on this year. There are 58 businesses involved this year.

The show goes on through January 1st 2022.

Some people really go all out for the holiday season, and it brightens up many faces when they see the lights!  Merry Christmas!

Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 This commercial display of lights is the only one of it's kind in Minot ND. They have done a wonderful job of putting it together year after year.

It sure is well worth the $5.00 per car load they charge John Pusa . We love going through it every year.

I know that a lot of light shows go to mid January across the country as well. :

I wish ours did Laura Cerrano as it would give more time to visiters in the area a chance to see the lioghts.

Hi Bob,
I love light shows and appreciate those who make the effort to put them together.
Have a wonderful and blessed day with your family, Bob.

Thank you Carol Williams > I wonder if that is why they don't keep it going longer as it is all done by volunteers.

The cost of electricity to run it might be a factor too, Bob "RealMan" Timm

Good morning Bob. Just the excitement you must feel with Tina home this holiday must have you on cloud 9. Enjoy the day!

You nailed it Wayne Martin and she has truly been home the entire time... no flying off to see friends. That being said we are now in a blizzard warning so we all may be stuck in the house a couple more days.

It is really nice Ron and Alexandra Seigel and I'm going to cherish it as every year it will get more complicated with the possibility of marriage and children (none on the horizon at this point).

Good morning, Bob... I think after the past couple of years people are really craving lights, connections, and celebrations. My neighborhood has always been all lit up, but this year it feels as if more homes than ever went all out. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

That seems to be what is happening here as well Nina Hollander, Broker . I've always loved that Christmas picture, it warms my heart, just as you do.

I think that holds true for many of us Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS . The newspaper here did an article on a house that went all out about 2 weeks ago and a couple of days ago we couldn't get near it for a look... and it's a rural home!
