Drive the streets of Defiance this time of year, and youâll find a number of impressive Christmas light displays.
If there were a contest for the best, many worthy entries would be available. But several displays within the townâs boundaries seem to jump out at those passing by.
Perhaps the most energetic residential display is at the home of Loretta and Dave Schroeder, at the corner of Emblanche and Terrawenda drives on the south part of Defiance (due west of South Clinton Street).
There, passersby are treated to some traditional lighting, but also an ever-changing light display on a large simulated Christmas tree, as well as the small ranch homeâs roof and wall lines. Perhaps, the most compelling part of the display is the synchronized music which is timed with the lights.
