A local legend!

So I have been meaning to pay tribute to a local legend in Spindale since we visited at Thanksgiving. The gentleman (who will remain anonymous) that lives here does a ton of work each year starting around Halloween to get everything ready. He has hundreds of lights and figurines in his yard and it actually kind of pretty. A lot of work goes into this yard so we wanted to show Blake while we were driving around looking at the lights. All the towns have the downtown sections decorated so we wanted to drive and show Blake this year. He is into lights big time - it doesn't matter if it is a flash light, head light, or thousands of Christmas lights. He loves to help plug in our tree lights and outdoor lights everyday. We usually try to help him but he sometimes will beat us to the punch and have them plug in. So back to this picture - here is the best part. There is more than one house like this. This gentleman is in competition with his son who lives on the next street and he has just as many. I give him a lot of credit to put this much work into it each and every year. It has become a family tradition for us to go see them.
