We checked out Osborne Court over the weekend, very cool! 3 houses all in sync, very well done!

Yes, it's open and available for viewing every night. A change from years past though - it's a walk-through tour this year, no cars, so you have to park nearby (there's a church where you can park near) and walk through the court.

they only shut down the street the first night for the family and their guests.

as of dec 3 you can drive thru but expect very long waits to drive. it is best seen walking. Rain or shine.

the gentlemen that started it on dovewood ct passed away this year. Mr. Dick Martin. He will be sorely missed by all.

osborne court...our new local favorite, we are there every night...(no we are not stalkers just love how our kids eyes light up and smile while watching - they clap at the end of each song too - we live quite close too)

my son wants to know ...where you got those dancing, silly lights. he thinks they listen to our radio and dance to the beat. both our kids enjoy them tons. thanks for sharing and taking the time to make it special for the kids and the kids at heart.

what do your neighbors across the street have to say...do they mind the flashing lights? who came up with the layout? it's so classy and beautiful. very enjoyable.

Be sure to tell your son thank you! The reason that we did this was two fold: My husband is a big kid at heart, and he really wanted the kids in the neighborhood to get that special holiday spirit - I think he attained his goal! We bought the lights at Target and Lowe's like everyone else, it's the software program that makes them dance and shimmer! In fact we didn't know what the lights were going to do until we plugged in and turned on the system.

As for our neighbors, they love it - be sure to come back next year, we're going wireless with more houses - the neighbors across the street plan to participating as well!

Ledgemont out in Fair Oaks was AWESOME! Well worth the drive. We'll check out Osbourne this week too.

What are the directions to Dovewood Court from Folsom? It's been a number of years since I've been and I just can't remember....old memory, young heart!

I just wanted to add my thanks to you and your family and wonderful neighbors. Your display is fantastic! My 15 year-old, who is at that age where anything his parents enjoy is uncool, is the one who told me about it and insists that I take him and a couple friends every single night! Thanks for the thoughtfulness and hard work!!

Hello Everyone,

It's at Madison and Walnut (I'm pretty sure). Just go down Madison, from Folsom and it's on the right sometime before Bella Vista.

Thanks - I put it on the front page of MyFolsom.com - well done!
Next year, do the roofs too!

Hi John,

We didn't do the roofs this year because we have cement tiles - we were worried about cracking them. Next year, watch out! We've talked the neighbors into going in on a cherry picker rental!

Thanks for the posting!

Heh... just watch where you walk. When your trees get bigger you'll soon see you have to get up there just to clean out the gutters! They are more sturdy than you think.

The Strand and Pebble Creek in Rocklin has got to be the best because of the number of homes in the neighborhood that do that....

If you want something local, check out the Willow Creek/Briggs Ranch area on December 24th because it will be luminary night then... and the whole area will have them along the streets... I think we are the only area doing that.... Big Valley Road... Willow Creek.... Bittercreek... Stoneyhill... etc...
