New Christmas Lights

Christmas lights have been a part of our Christmas tradition since 1882. Edward H. Johnson decided to pretty up his Christmas tree, by attaching 80 red, white, and blue lights to it. Since then Christmas lights have been hung up in countless homes during the Christmas season. 

Over the years Christmas lights have grown and changed, making them brighter, prettier, and patterns. We have gone from strands being loosely hung on a tree to hundreds, to displays that are hundreds of feet tall that flash and seem to move. Many communities have made a tradition of hanging Christmas lights on street light poles. We here in Warren County are no exception to this.

The current lights were purchased from Thomson over 20 years ago. The exact date that Thomson purchased them is currently unknown. We estimate the lights to be about 40 years or older.

Thanks to a deal worked out by Sherri Frantz and the Temple Display, ltd, we have been able to purchase bigger, prettier new Christmas lights for Warren County.  Many people also donated generous amounts of money to help fund the project.
