Family Christmas Display
The Piper Family Christmas Display in south Wyandotte County is
new to the Kansas City Christmas Light Tour in 2012. The nicely done static
display includes some inflatable decorations which are too faint to be
easily seen in this image. It would look even nicer if the driveway was
not in use.

Vielhauer
Christmas Display Must
see!
The Vielhauer family has been working on this
lighted display of wooden Christmas figures for over 30 years. It has grown
and changed every year. There are over 80 different pieces on display,
some of which have been placed in the neighbors yards because of room.

46th Terrace Christmas Display
This attractive South 46th Terrace Christmas Display is just two
doors from the Wyandotte County Line and about a block south of the Piper
Family Display. Considering the modest size of the house and front yard,
they have done an amazing job. This is the first year that it has been
included on this tour.

Campain
Family Christmas Display
The Campain Family says they have put out Christmas display for
many years, but in 2011 they "took it to Clark W. Griswold proportions."
It included a 37' tall Christmas tree of lights, 1050 feet of rope light,
a 7' Christian star, 25 foot tall rope light artistic angle & a 12'
tall rope light artistic angle. They did a nice job with an awkward shaped
yard.

City Christmas Display
It is a little hard to pull to the side of the street to see this Kansas
City Kansas Christmas Display but the Conoco station across the street
gives a nice place to enjoy it. The large display is all at the front of
the yard. Almost none of it is on or near the house. Note: County Line

The highlight of this County Line Road Christmas display is the
large backlit, cut out nativity, which appears to be hand made. It is flanked
by retro plastic choir figures and candles. This display is smaller than
most on these tour routes but is right along the way and the nativity is
quite attractive.

2012 is the fourth year for the Harrington Holiday Lights, but the
first year that it has been on the Kansas City Christmas Light Tour. The
64 channel Light-O-Rama display broadcasts 12 songs on 88.7 FM. There is
a box for donations to the Andrew J. Somora Foundation. They have done
a nice job of building the display in a relatively small front yard.

Simon. The yard is divided into four quadrants: blue, red, gold, and green,
and the path crosses the intersection of all four quadrants. Supervised
children are welcome to walk the path to Santa, but should stay within
the path and retrace their route to leave the yard.

In 2008 Candy Cane Lane recovered from several years of dwindling
displays. It was the 51st year of Candy Cane Lane and every house was attractively
decorated. This display of lights was once again worth a special visit.
They have continued to put up the new displays and this has become one
of the most popular Christmas displays in Kansas City. Longer review

like it is an insurance agency or similar office, Vince & Associates
does pre clinical or laboratory research for pharmaceutical companies.

The Hadley Street Christmas Display is new to the Kansas City Christmas
Light Tour in 2012. It includes several unlighted or very faintly lighted,
inflated decorations which do not appear in this photo. The home is on
the corner of 75th Street and another display with more inflatable decorations
is just a block west on 75th, where it is hard to see because of the high
volume of traffic.

for several years because of the enormous red and white tree, but in 2011
the display was expanded to include an animated, computer controlled Christmas
display to help benefit Make-A-Wish in memory of their son Mason. Tune
to 98.5FM to hear songs that were done in memory of Mason, plus a couple

Haskins
Street Display
Thanks to Tim Dorr,
I discovered this neat, varied display near 79th Street and Pflumm in Lenexa.
It has been around for at least a four years. This Haskins Street Christmas
Display has many moving figures including Santa Claus on a teeter totter
and a small Ferris wheel. There are many more lights than in this display
from a previous year. I particularly like the parachuting dog! This photos
is from 2010.

Petersons'
92nd Terrace Display
92nd Terrace west of England Street is a culdesac where nearly every home
is decorated for the holidays. The centerpiece of the display used to be
the lights and inflatable decorations on the island at the end of the culdesac
opposite the large
Peterson family display, but the island is dark
in 2012. Mike Peterson, passed away at the age of 64 on August 15th. The
neighbors, whom he had always helped, came together with good hearts &
love to help his wife with the Christmas display one more year.

Preston Evans has done a lot with a small front yard at this location
of Lenexa's Marshall Drive. Be sure to turn off your radio and roll down
the window, since some of the lights flash in time with Christmas music
which is playing quietly in the background. Preston said that his 2010
display included 8,500 lights but this photo is from 2012.

The 9300 block of Goddard Street has several nice Christmas displays
including 2 others which were nearly large enough to be included on the
Kansas City Christmas Light Tour on their own right. This display has many
Santa Clauses, including three which (along with Rudolph and a couple of
elves) tell a story of a mishap on the roof.

Hager
Family Sound and Light Display
Ken and Marilyn Hager's
computer controlled sound and light display
is one of the prettiest I have seen. There are many attractively decorated
houses along 127th Street as you drive from State Line Road, west to this
home. There are 4 songs on the program which runs from 5 PM to 1 AM. The
electronics for this show are by Animated Lighting and the lights are installed
by Brighter Holidays. Tune your car radio to 102.7 FM to enjoy the show.

Fisch
Family Santa Claus Airport
Runways for Santa Claus are very popular, but the Fisch Family Home
in the Leawood South Subdivision takes the theme a couple of steps farther
than the rest. An airplane piloted by Santa Claus has just taken off, while
two more airplanes wait their turn. There are also a helicopter and a large
balloon piloted by Santa. Christmas music is played over a speaker and
can be heard from several houses away. There was no display when we checked
in 2011, but they are back bigger and better in 2012.

Curtis
Family Christmas Light Display
18 years ago, Craig and Paula Curtis used 3,000 lights to decorate their
home for the first time. Their display has grown to 25,000 lights, with
the bulk of the Christmas lights on the roof of the Overland Park home,
giving a unique look to the Curtis Family Christmas Light Display.
The display stays much the same each year, but Paula likes to add a "misfit"
to each year's display.

is the first year that they have been in Kansas City. The decorations (which
include an 8 foot tall Santa in uniform) continue along the side of the

display for 2012.

display and the third year that they have added music and animation. Tune
your radio to 107.1FM to listen to the Christmas music program that is
coordinated to the flashing lights. Portions of the display are on an island
in the street and on the large tree in a different yard at the right. There
is another very attractively decorated home as you turn down the culdesac
toward the Hall Family Christmas Display.

Brain technology. Songs in the show have included Christmas Eve
Sarajevo and Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra,
Star

There are more lights than appear in this picture and there are more good
light displays at other homes up Granada Drive. One yard is filed with
giant lollipops.

The next house to the left has a Christmas display with deer, which complements
this display.

This neighborhood has several nice displays but this one on 110th Terrace
is the largest and most interesting. It is spread over a large corner

from a speaker near the back. We particularly liked the large Santa Claus
which can be seen through the front door.

Ultimate
Holiday Tree
The Ultimate Holiday Tree is a 20' tree shaped flat panel holiday
lighting display with thousands of solid state LED bulbs. Created by Mark
Callegari, it was featured on HGTV's "All Out Christmas" show. Located
in the 6600 block of West 131st Street along Deer Creek Golf Course, the
Ultimate Holiday Tree is supplemented by LED house wash lights, an 8' LED
wreath and eight smaller LED trees. Tune your car radio to 98.5 FM to listen
to the program. The Callegari family does a nicer job on their broadcast
than most displays which combine their program with holiday music.

Nottingham
by the Green Subdivision
The trees throughout
Nottingham by the Green subdivision have green
lights on the trunks and red lights in their lower branches. While this
does not give the feeling of being within the display in the way that Christmas
Place does, this Christmas light display goes on for many blocks and
gives some good vistas. If more lights were added to the trees, or more
of the residents did significant individual holiday displays, I think that
this could become the most impressive Christmas light display in the Kansas
City area.

Christmas
Place - Terrace Place subdivision
For 20 years, the 23 homes of these two streets in the Terrace Place subdivision
have been creating Christmas Place. These homes are coordinated
with all keeping the same theme, rather than individually standing out.
Pulling into the subdivision is like walking through an enchanted forest.
There is a feeling of being inside this display that adds to the wonder
and isn't captured in the photo. Cindy Lou Corley started the tradition
by providing lighted candy canes to every home. Cindy died about
5 years ago from breast cancer but the celebration continues.

The Carpenters Christmas Display (like the nearby Paulie's Penguin

the day time than it is at night. Most of the decorations are handmade
and they include giant candies, gingerbread houses and ornaments. The "Candy
Cane Forest" is on the other side of the wide driveway and cannot be seen
in this photograph. The Carpenters have only lived here since May, but
intend to keep developing this display for years to come. It will remain
up until New Years.

which fill most of his yard at Mur-Len Road & Indian Creek Parkway
in Olathe, Kansas. In 2007 it took a crew six days to set up the Christmas
display. Many of the figures move, some play music, and there are even
penguin videos playing on the roof. This is the largest single display
in Johnson County, and one of the largest Christmas Displays in metropolitan
Kansas City. Longer

G-Town
Christmas
G-Town Christmas in Gardner, debuted its first animated display in
2008. Tyson, Natalie & Kevin Hofsommer struggled with repeated technical
issues, but the show has improved every year. I particularly liked the
spiral tree which was added in 2010.
Tune your car radio
to 106.7 FM to listen to the music while watching the Light-o-Rama technology
from 5:15-11pm every night until after New Years.

158th
Terrace Not yet confirmed
in 2012
I used to recommend checking out this 158th Terrace Christmas Light
Display on the way to another much larger display which filled several
yards. The other display was not set up in 2011, but this one has grown
bigger and is worth a visit on its own. It is beautiful on its own and
the reflection from the adjacent pond makes it even better.
Be sure to view it
from both 158th Terrace and across the pond from Woodson Street.
