Celebration of Holiday Lights display

November 25, 2013
The Seventh Equinox

Now through January 5 — see my display at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton, VA, as part of the annual Celebration of Holiday Lights. Constructed by the talented M. Hillary, the theme of my display is “Books Make Great Gifts.” And, of course, you can guess which book I’m suggesting people get.

Overall view of my display.

Close-up of Mr. Electric reading THE SEVENTH EQUINOX. The quote on the book behind him says, "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. -- Albert Einstein" — Close-up of Mr. Electric reading THE SEVENTH EQUINOX.

Close-up of the books on the mantelpiece. I tried to pick something to please everyone.

Close-up of the cat. I wonder what its purr sounds like.

There are at least 20 other displays at the park. Here, my display is in the foreground, and a church's is in the background. — There are at least 20 other displays at the park. Here, my display is in the foreground, and a church’s is in the background.
