Dec. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Local extreme Christmas decorators, Larry Drum, Brian Todd and Chris Hoard have turned their passion for lights and the joy of Christmas into a major charity event for Forsyth County Family Haven.   Forsyth county families are invited to experience this spectacular holiday light show this Christmas season, and at the same time have the opportunity to give back to the local community.

This is the fifth year for the show and once again it is bigger and better than last year with over 160,000 lights “dancing” to the beat of 12 songs.  The decorators hope the spirit of the season will directly help raise funding and awareness for Family Haven, which provides victims of domestic violence and their families a variety of services.

The light and music show kicks off Thanksgiving night at 5:30 p.m. and runs every night through New Year’s day.  The show runs until 9:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and until 10:00 p.m. Friday-Sunday.  Visitors are asked to tune their radios in their cars to 88.1 FM to enjoy the music and spectacular lightshow.  The display is located on Bryn Ridge Court in the Haley Farms subdivision in northwest Forsyth County (Cumming, GA  30028.)

As a special treat, Judy Pancoast, the artist behind the song "The House on Christmas Street," will be performing live on Wednesday, December 22nd at 6:00 p.m. This song has been used by extreme decorators around the world, and is popular with children, teens and adults.  

Donations of cash and goods will be accepted every night to benefit Family Haven.  The shelter is in need of the following items, and greatly appreciates the community’s assistance:

Toilet Paper
Paper Towels
Cleaning Supplies
Trash Bags
All Size Diapers
Twin Sheet Sets
Copy Paper
Pasta Dinners
Cereal
Baby Wipes
Laundry Detergent
Swiffer Wet Jet Refills
Twin Plastic  Mattress & Pillow Covers

“We are overwhelmed and thrilled at the support of the Forsyth community,” said Brian Todd, Cumming resident and extreme decorator.  “We look forward each year to this wonderful opportunity to celebrate the spirit of the season with the community, and be able to give back to Family Haven at  the same time.”  Videos of last year’s show can be seen at http://www.vimeo.com/georgiachristmas.
