This venue consisted of Santa Central, Coco Huts, Food
Trucks, Mrs. Claus's Merry Market and of course the decorations and
light displays and trees along the Holiday Lights Pathway, plus giant
snow globes. It is said to have over a million light displays on one-half
mile walking trail. Plus a snow tube slide, free parking and more.
Therefore, photos have been placed on several pages of this website.

Everything
was amazing except for one of the food trucks, so that is posted here
first as a notice to others. The lobster roll was quite costly and extremely
chewy. Karen told the crew in the food truck that it was chewy and inedible
and they just stared at her. When she said she threw it away the man
said "Good". Karen did NOT expect another lobster roll to
be offered, but she did expect them to care about the quality of their
food. Lee did not care for his food from this food truck either. |

The lights changed colors on the tree.
But the two RV Gypsies wondered why there was not any star on top of
the tree. Karen Duquette photographed the tree from several different
angles as the lights changed colors. |
