1-19-2021 - UPDATE: All Faith Community Services Donations
We were able to drop off 876 pounds of non-perishable food, a pair of fuzzy socks, and a Cashier’s Check for $1,922.65 to All Faith Community Services in downtown Buckeye on 1/7/2021. We were also informed that a check for $100 was received by AFCS referencing Lights in Verrado. So over $2,000 raised! Every $1 donated provides 7 meals for those in need. Amazing!!!
Thank you to everyone who made donations this year. What a Blessing!
We plan on continuing our relationship with AFCS for our 2021 Shows in support of our local community.
God Bless!

12-24-2020 - Merry Christmas from our family to yours. 2020 has been a crazy year for everyone. We hope our shows have brought a smile and some happiness to your lives.
----------
12-18-2020 - We had to stop the show last night at 8PM due to a gas leak across the street. There were multiple vehicles parked in front of their house. This created a lot of noise and very little room on the street for cars to pass. I made the call to end the show early due to safety concerns. I apologize if you came out after 8PM and were unable to see our show.
With that said, the show will be up and running tonight!
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
----------
12-17-2020 - The rest of tonight's show has been cancelled due to a gas leak at a neighbors house. We will resume the show on Friday, 12/18.
