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 Duquette 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" and walked away. Karen did
NOT expect another lobster roll to be offered, but she did expect them
to care about the quality of their food. Lee Duquette did not care for
his food from this food truck either.

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