Follow on Google News | Grammy Nominated Singer Judy Pancoast to Sing at Forsyth County Holiday Light ShowAtlanta families are invited to experience a spectacular holiday light show this Christmas season, with special guest appearance by grammy-nominated Judy Pancoast, the artist behind the song "The House on Christmas Street."
By: Liz Bartling 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/ About Family Haven Our mission is to provide victims of violence and their families with a continuous availability of services.
