"A homeowner who was forced to pull the plug on his computerized Christmas light show last year has a bigger display planned for this holiday season.

 

Carson Williams will be decorating a park in this Cincinnati suburb.

 

Williams spent nearly two months last year hooking up 25,000 lights at his home in Deerfield Township and programming them to flash to Christmas music. The music was broadcast through a low FM transmitter, so people driving by could pick it up on their car radios without the music being played through the neigborhood.

 

Williams' display went dark last Dec. 6 because of safety concerns and increased traffic from sightseers. But the attention led to appearances on national television, and the house was featured in a Miller Lite beer commercial.

 

This year's display, opening Dec. 2 at Heritage Oak Park, will include 35,000 Christmas lights synchronized to music.

 

Williams, a 41-year-old computer engineer for Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions, and volunteers have been building the display, which visitors will view from their cars like a drive-in movie.

 

It will cost $15 per car for a 15-minute show. Williams will get some of the proceeds with most going to Festivals of Mason, a local nonprofit group that organizes family events."

 

I might have to take that trip!:tongue1:
