• My Family launched their first Hope Lights: A Hallvenbruersen’s Christmas Display 🙂 The mash up of names is bits and pieces of each extended family that helped build, create and decorate each of the beautiful pieces that came to life in our yard. My dad has planned and perfected each beat of the music to share with our community our love for Christmas. Our address is 12401 Partridge St NW Coon Rapids MN 55448. Our lights will be on from 5-9 every night through the end of the year! Come on out and enjoy!

• I have now completed my list of South East venues. Two quick notes first, both from Inver Grove Heights. The huge display on Ann Marie Trail is retired. However the neighborhood just a 1/2 mile east of there (86th Court E and Applegate Way) is very cool. Most homes participate and all of the trees are simply amazing. Still worth the trip to this neighborhood. Second is 6451 Bechman Court, house that had the synchronized light and santa video in the window has moved away. However, the new people did put some decorations up plus the whole Cul-de-sac stepped up and all of the home participate. This is still worth the trip.

  Not a light show. Just a bunch of old looking light figurines. Don’t waste your time.

  • That’s a really nice display. Yes, many older figurines. But old doesn’t make it any less spectacular.
