The Holiday Lights in Motion display was so popular this year that the HLM Board decided to extend it two weekends past the normal Jan. 1 end date. This past weekend it was time to take it all down.
Co-Chair Shari Hittesdorf said approximately 22,000 vehicles passed through the park during the 46 nights of the event almost doubling the 2019 total.
“Our biggest night came Saturday, December 12, when nearly 1,300 vehicles went through the lighted loop,” said Hittesdorf. “I wish we could do an actual head count. On the busy nights, most vehicles had three or four people inside. And we saw several buses drive through.”
