This is the front of the Pusateri home where each year they light it up for the Make A Wish Foundation. There are 66,000 lights that go on for three plus weeks near Christmas and it is complete with animation, singing Santa's and even a few nights of Santa CLaus and Mrs Claus with two elfs to greet the kids. Pretty impressive as the annual lighting raises a lot of money for the Make A Wish Foundation, LAST YEAR NEARLY $ 10,000! Dave, Muriel and many helpers make tthis happen every night for kids who come from all over to see the awesome specticle.
