I see people parked over there all the time....you have a front row seat nightly. Stop by the house and say Hi sometime.

Wonderful display. Wish better place to pull off road to watch. was very nervous as many cars zipped by. Perhaps the farmer across the street would let you park cars there.

Kevin link
12/21/2011 01:11:52 am

I agree and plan on asking for next year.....

Thanks.....Kevin

I appreciate all the hard work & time you put into creating this fantastic light show. My 4 year old grand daughter was totally mesmerized and didn't want to leave. She was thrilled to get home and to be able to watch it all over again online. Thank You for sharing this wonderful display of Christmas!!!!!

The display is a labor of love....I will start working on next years display as I tear down this years display by adding new stuff and putting old stuff on the shelf for a few years. Thanks for coming to see it.....

There were 9 of us (four generations) piled in our suv to see your lights. WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!!!! You wanted suggestions on how you could improve for next year. How do you improve prefection?

Kevin link

Thanks Sarah.....4 generations is an accomplishment in it self and I am glad I was a part of one of your family evenings together. Come back again next year.....

Our entire family stopped by to see your Christmas display after hearing how fantastic it was. We loved it! Our little 5 year old daughter did not want to leave. We could not imagine the work and planning that went into this display. Don't know how anyone could leave after visiting your display and not get into the holiday spirit. What a joy for the young and the old to experience. FANTASTIC INDEED!

Kevin link
12/21/2011 01:27:01 am

WOW....thanks for your endorsement. I can't ask for anything better. I have talked to car loads of teens in my driveway and to people that come alone. The pressure is on to improve for next year.

Stopped two different times and only watched part of it each time. I plan on going tonight to see the whole thing. I loved what I saw. Thanks so much for all your hard work for all to enjoy.

Kevin link
12/21/2011 01:31:20 am

It does keep me busy throughout the year but it is a labor of love.Stop as often as you can or as many times as it takes...the cost of your tickets are the same.

Kevin

Stopped again on New Year's Eve w/sister&brother-in-law. This was my fourth or fifth time seeing the lights this year. I enjoyed it as much as the first night. Thanks again for taking such time for something for everyone to enjoy.

Rachel Sweger
12/31/2011 04:18:17 pm

Kevin, I was just wondering if you still have a pipe spraying water in the trees in front of your camp in Sheaffer's Valley? I stayed at your camp years ago before I was even in my teens w/ my church youth group from Centre Presbyterian. This is how I knew who's camp it was. My husband and I like taking the drive to see the ice sculpture lit up at your camp and the one next door. If so hope it gets cold enough soon for it to freeze. It's very neat to see also.

Kevin link
12/31/2011 08:26:48 pm

Thanks Rachel......we may vote you the most loyal watcher of 2011

Kevin link
12/31/2011 08:32:59 pm

As a matter of fact, yesterday I set it up and now all we need is the cold weather. I hear thats coming this week so there will be ice over there soon.

took my family tonight to come see your show.I was told that it was a spectacular show from a guy i work with and he wasnt wrong.We all absolutely enjoyed the lights and of course the music was fantastic as well since we all love tso.Look forward to see what you have in store for next year and a big THANK YOU for all the work and time that you put into this fabulous light display.The fact that it is only on the other side of the ridge from us makes it even better.MERRY CHRISTMAS

Kevin link
12/21/2011 01:35:10 am

Thanks for your strong endorsement and be sure to tell your friends I said thanks also. The FM goes a few miles so you can listen in at anytime, maybe even from over the ridge. thanks.....

Thanks

At 3,000 miles away, you are definately my farthest website visitor to make comment (to date). The word Oscar coming from somebody in the business carries some weight......Thanks Alan

Brought my three kids for a car ride to calm them down while mom was working last night. They are 4, 2 and 8 months. They loved Amazing Grace meets Cotton Eyed Joe. Especially since my daughter's middle name is Grace. We went up the road toward Elliotsburg and turned up the first road to the right, and sat up on the hill. It was a great view with less traffic. Very impressive. Thanks for doing it for my kids. My daughter told me she was sad when we left. I asked why and she said, "Because we don't have lights like that at our house."

Kevin link
12/21/2011 01:47:06 am

Didn't mean to get you in trouble with the daughter....LOL...tell her you helped me and it will be our secret. Maybe someday she will be able to submit a piano solo and see her solo it in lights.

I live in Georgia and my brother in law was telling us about it on facebook, he brought his 3 little ones to see it. It was amazing, would love to see it someday. Who knows maybe next year I'll be able to come home to Perry County for Christmas.

Kevin link
12/21/2011 09:20:44 am

There is no place like home and Perry County needed a place to see lights like you get to see in the big city. Now the city has to catch up to Perry County.

Thanks......Kevin

Next year I'll get the boys involved too.....after that it will take a few years for the grandkids and thats when the real memories begin. Thanks for visiting the site.

We really enjoyed the "show" last night from Dunkleberger Road. It is amazing! You did a fantastic job. We even have reception and can hear the music on the radio from our house on Pleasant Valley Road. Thanks again for all your hard work. We wish you, Pat, the boys and their families a very Merry Christmas!

Kevin link
12/22/2011 11:33:07 pm

Thanks for your kind comments. I play music at times during the daylight on weekends that you may enjoy. The Dunkleburger Road is great spot to view the lights....I did the video from the ridge, sometime you should take a portable radio and go out on the ridge and view it.......thanks Kevin

I was told about your show by someone at our church and decided to come out last night. I also told my mom that there was a light show somewhere in our area. We came out last night and it was absolutely AMAZING!! As soon as I got home I sent your website to my mom to show her the show. I also told her wife when she came into True Value today where I work that it was abolutely AMAZING! I just recognized the name when she check out and asked her if you were her husband. She told me that she would tell you that we all enjoyed it but I will just tell you myself. My parents are coming up tomorrow night so we would like to show them.

Kevin link
12/24/2011 03:57:51 am

Kevin link
12/25/2011 04:21:07 am

Karen I start taking them down Jan 2nd so the last night for the lights will be Jan 1st. Already am making plans for next year as this display does not grow on trees.....thanks for stopping by......

Hey Kevin!! I've seen the videos and your house looks amazing. My girlfriend just got back in town today and I wanted take her to see the show tonight, will the show go on if it's raining?

Kevin link
12/27/2011 06:08:45 am

Yes....it will be on unless it gets foggy also, then it's too dangerous along the highway.

Kevin,
I just finished watching your light show on my computer. It is amazing! Even better than last year! I am so sorry that we did not get to see it this year in person. I just read all of the comments you received and your replies. You are a true genius! I can't even imagine what next year's will be like. Here's hoping we will get to see it.
Hope 2012 will be a healthy, happy and prosperous one for you, Pat and your whole family. Love, Aunt Louise and Uncle Jim

Kevin link
12/29/2011 12:36:01 pm

Pat and I have always enjoyed your company at family functions and hope to have you up here next year to see it in person. Please do not hesitate to call us and say "come get us for the weekend" this winter. We would enjoy having you here ......

what an incredible moment! Thank you so much for your gift to our commununity. I have no right to ask this and please feel free to say no; however, my son, James Reed, returns from the Army overseas Jan 16 and I know he would love to see what your family has created...is there any chance your lights will still be up? James and his Bride are expecting their first child at the end of April. They have been stationed in South Korea this last year and return to Perry County (class of WP '2008) for one week Jan 16-21 before they are deployed to their next post.

Thank you so much for your gift to the community. Thank you for your time reading this and I'll await anxiously, your reply to my email.

very respectfully,
June Reed Reisinger

Unfortunately the display has to come down starting Jan 2nd. The weather is my biggest enemy and as it looks now it will be dry the first few days of 2012. I will be more than happy to show your son how it works but by the time he comes back I will be working on next years display. In fact, I am inviting you and your family to stop in and he/you will see how I make things for the display........Kevin
