This is the most extraordinary holiday lights display and community gathering I've ever observed. The Guerney County Courthouse is the only government building with a light display in the country. It features 25,000 dancing lights set to a soundtrack of holiday and contemporary music. The town also has hundreds of Dickens characters on display from the first Sunday in November through New Year's. Horse-drawn carriage rides are offered. It's a beautiful sight!

It's an extravagant Christmas display that lasts two months. The brainstorm of resident Bob Ley, it has grown since 2005 to include nearly 200 Victorian dummies -- many made by volunteers out of wood, clay, styrofoam, and bubble wrap -- and has co-opted the town's main government building into a sound-and-light show projection screen.
