Hey guys & gals,
This is amazing, for those of you haven't seen it before. The story behind this is copied below, with 'links of interest' provided. The video on the 'musician' is especially fascinating, ( and entertaining), to say the least. Hope everyone enjoys!

WATCH IN 1080HD!! This christmas light display started out 6 years ago at a residential home in Crooks, SD. While growing in popularity at the residential site, it would generate lines of cars up to 1/2 mile deep with 2 hour waits to see the display. After the owners decided to move to a new home in the country, the show was relocated to the Western Mall in Sioux Falls SD, where it lights up the night and peoples hearts by raising around $25,000 per year for the Make-A-Wish foundation of SD. It grants about 5 children's wishes each and every year.
Even though it's tough to get the scale of this display by watching the video, the castle backdrop used in the display is actually 3D, and is 24 feet tall!
Apparently there are a few people that think this is fake...Oh, it's very real. See the news story in this link for some additional perspective on the size of the castle. http://www.keloland.com/videoarchive/index.cfm?VideoFile=110410crooks
The music used with the show is called "A Christmas Rock Medley" by Richard Campbell of Orpheus Studio in the UK. The artist has blessed the use of his song for the display. The musical artist is also quite amazing, playing every instrument used in the song! Watch his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXfSaFNkDdg
