Let’s Go Mets!

Let’s Go Mets!

This was a special day. We got three generations together to see the opening day of the Mets! We were able to sit right behind the dugout and capture all the players. The crowd went electric when Diaz hobbled out on crutches. My father hadn’t…

Ole Red Christmas Tree

Ole Red Christmas Tree

Mile: 110,765

Our 1,500 lights were added to Ole Red for a total of 7,500 lights this year.

It was now time to add our tree. We were able to locate and find some old style ceramic bulbs like we used to have as children.

It was then off to Scott’s Nursery and Landscaping in New Milford and we found the perfect tree. They have all kinds of roping, trees, cemetery boxes and more stuff than you can imagine. I took some pictures so you can see and support local!

Our master fabricator who puts the Chris in Christmas, Uncle Chris helped ensure that the tree will stay in place even traveling down the highway. After a quick test run it was time to go on the Town and that we did!

I promise you will see us OR hear us from a 1/2 mile away. Be sure to come up to the truck when we are going through the shopping centers for some candy canes or if we are at a light, pull up to the truck, put your window down and get ready for a barrage of candy canes to be thrown in your car!

STAY TUNED as our gift card giveaways will be starting soon.

It’s that time of year … TRICK OR TREAT! Jackson dressed up as a Red Power Ranger. It is a far cry from when I was a kid with a sheet with some holes cut in it or one of those horrible looking plastic masks.

He went over to his buddies Enzo’s neighborhood and before that we made a few trips around the block. Sorry to anyone we missed. We had a busy schedule!

By the end of the night he couldn’t even keep his eyes open!
