HERMISTON â At night, Craig Dircksen and Lori Smithâs house is hard to miss.
Their home and yard are covered in tens of thousands of lights, all working in sync with a musical concert more than an hour long. During one song, a giant Spider Man dances on a 28-foot-tall metal Christmas tree. During another, a wave of pink crosses the house at the mention of Santa Claus bringing a Barbie.
âIâm one of those âgo big or go homeâ people, and Iâm already home so I might as well go big,â Dircksen said.
The songs are broadcast over the radio frequency 88.1 FM and the light display runs from 5:30-9 p.m. nightly at 790 W. Johns Ave. in Hermiston. It brings a steady stream of people parking along the street or in the adjacent parking lot of Desert View Elementary School to watch and listen from their vehicles.
