Johnsburg, Illinois.
This is one of our traditional Christmas light stops. They've had it every year except for two when someone damaged some of the decorations. The Scrooge.
About two years ago, the Lankford Construction Co. switched over to LED lighting for environmental purposes and, I imagine for electricity savings.
The array of animated and stationary tableaus is complimented by the LED lighting conversion, where the colors change such as with the ice skaters congregated by a ringed and lit pond. Santa Claus can be seen putting a golf ball and flying a helicopter.
The company's owner originally purchased a few of the lighted displays from the Pierceton, Indiana-based Herman's Christmasland, which is a top manufacturer of outdoor decorations for municipalities, churches and theme parks.
With each passing season, Lankford's displays began to accumulate and expand across the 10 acre land space the company has. The actual assembly of all of it begins immediately after Halloween and starts with the laying out of all of the electrical cords. All of the elements have been tested by Thanksgiving.
But, by far, my favorite is the stagecoach with a whip cracking, the horses' legs moving as well as the wheels.
Lankford Construction is located at 1455 Karlene Way, which is right off Johnsburg Road.
Worth a Drive. Believe Me. --RoadLighting
