Food donations were added in 2009 to benefit the Northern Illinois Food Bank!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

The Germann Family Light Show was started in 2008 with only 16 channels for lights. We had only one song that Halloween – the Twilight Zone Theme Song. We had only two outdoor speakers and no radio station.<\/p>\n

Soon, in 2009, we added a radio station and some more lights, and started doing a Christmas Show. We also added a benefit for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. We have collected THOUSANDS of food items to help out our community.<\/p>\n

Now, we’ve expanded to many thousands of lights, controlled across a unique network that can be controlled from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2010, we finalized our Graveyard theme, which has seen small updates since.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last Year’s Halloween Display – 2023 – Not too much has changed – in 2017 we acquired a few Oil Barrels to add some more decorations – they also provide a great RGB Flood Mount! We also refresh our Gravestones almost every year. In 2022 we finally converted 90% of all our lighting to RGB\/LED! Even added some more LEDs in our barrels – and added in 5mm strobes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Biggest add to 2022 was our 12ft Singing\/talking Skelly! You can find more information on our Skelly page! 2023 saw the addition of our singing 8ft Pumpkin Stack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
