Christmas in Timber Town

The Good with the Bad...

After winning 3rd place in the Willamina Lighted Christmas Parade, we were in high spirits and ready to win a prize in the Home Illumination Contest. While not all of the light elements were put in place due to some technical problems and a bit of procrastination on my part, the show was up and running in time for the start on December 10th. Judging for the contest was on the 19th and 20th, plenty of time to work the bugs out of the system. Then a few days before the judging, a major storm swept through our area, destroying about a third of our show. Shorting out several of our mini-trees and a number of our controllers, it ruined a lot of the show. Because, we at TimbertownChristmas are not quitters, we assessed the damage and reorganized what was left. It still has a bit to offer for the public to see and we hope it will draw them here to help us with our charity, the local food-bank. On with the show!
