Jan. 1, 2017 - Holiday Lights - Part 1

A holiday light display was set up again this year at Phalen Park in St. Paul, MN. More than 60 themed displays were created by the National Electrical Contractors Association. This was the entrance to the drive-through route. To give some perspective, cars could drive into the area on either side of the figure in the middle.

Sports seemed to be a theme of this year’s displays. Bicycling was represented by this colorful figure.

Santa was shown bringing his toys and other goodies in a fire truck.

Here’s a more traditional method of transportation for Santa. All of the eight Reindeer are shown. Rudolph (on the right) leads the group and if you look closely, you can even see his red nose.

One of the more spectacular scenes was this huge Christmas Tree made up of 10 smaller trees.
