Over the past 18 years I have had many ideas for the Freeland Light show that I have been able to implement. I now need your help for the future show contents. I am only able to control the show and am not able to control visitors of the show. Please comment below if I have missed a topic. Happy New

9 More days to enjoy the Freeland Lights! Please note that the next few days may be the busiest of the season. After Christmas the traffic drops off and front spots are plentiful. Donations are appreciated and 100% go to the Child Abuse and Neglect Council GLBR and the Habitat for Humanity.
Merry Christmas!

Well programming is almost done - 3 new songs to Freeland lights for this year. Getting ready to start setting up this year and finding out that my cat5 cable supply is getting near the end. If any of you have partial boxes taking up space in your shop I’ll gladly use it in the display. I usually find cable at the walleye festival sales but didn’t get out this year. If you have a partial box you would like to contribute please let me know. Thanks
