Thank You For a Great First Year
The lights at Christmas in Brewster are now dark. Thank you to those of you who stopped by to check out the lights and for all of the kind words about the display. While the blinking and the flashing is done for 2009, be sure to stop back next year, the day after Thanksgiving, for what we hope to be a bigger and better display with lots of new elements and songs.
For information on how we accomplish all this, be sure to check out the blog.
We are broadcasting on 93.5 FM Be sure to tune your radios to 93.5 so that you can enjoy the show to the fullest. Update 12/14: The new FM transmitter has arrived and the sound quality has vastly improved!
Show Information:
- We’re located next to the Fire Station on East Main St., Brewster, OH 44613
- The show runs from the Friday after Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve
- If you choose to turn off your headlights, please keep your parking lights on for safety
- Tune your radio to 93.5 FM to hear the music and watch the light show from the warmth of your own car.

Special thanks to Richard Holdman, Frank Kostyun, and random_rodder (don’t have his real name yet) for posting their sequences. Much of my work is based on their effort, and without them it would have been a lot more difficult to finish in time.
