PAY IT FORWARD
The Christmas season is a time for helping others and spreading the feeling of joy. It is our hope that when you watch the light display:
1) You come away with a greater joy for Christmas and understand the reasons why we celebrate.
2) You have a willingness to help those less fortunate.
3) You remember those who cannot be home for Christmas as they are serving and protecting our country.
This has been a difficult year for many in the greater Kokomo area and we hope that thru this display these goals can be achieved.
Last year visitors to the display donated $4,740.77. This money was given to We Care of Kokomo and Tipton Jubilee Christmas of Tipton County.
This money was used by those charities to help those less fortunate in our community so they too may have a joyous Christmas.

The following is a listing of songs played in the show.
The show will be different throughout the week playing different songs on selected nights.
