'Tis the Season

I have always thought that Elburn's holiday decorations on Main Street look particularly nice. This year our illuminated snowflakes have been quite effective attracting an early snow to the village.

But we can do better. Here is a picture of the Osborne Family "Spectacle of Lights" from Disney's MGM Studios this year. The Osborne display contains 5 million lights, 32 miles of extension cords, 66 roof mounted snow machines, 150 angels, 43 hidden "Mickeys," and takes 800,00 watts of electicity to power up.

I bet Elburn's Superintendent of Public Works Art Sanchez is very relieved that he doesn't have to coordinate the installation, removal and storage of a display like this each year. What do you think Art? Wouldn't this look great on Main Street? It's just a thought. 'Tis the season!
