Over two hours condensed into almost three minutes, showing the process of us packing up the display. Total time for us to pack up, drive home and then unpack everything is about six hours, which is why we only do a handful of shows a year. We all love putting on this amazing display, and want everyone to appreciate the time and effort it takes us to put this all together for your enjoyment 😁

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them.
