Why do you do the light display each year, and how many years have you set it up?

"I've been doing it for ... about 20 years,'' Richard Thigpen Sr. said. "I lived in a house in Grovetown and I did the same thing and now I've been here six years. I just enjoy doing it because I love Christmastime and seeing people enjoy it."

Have you ever gotten comments on your display?

"I get a lot of people stop and tell me how good they look," Thigpen said.
