we are so thankful for our readers and the local businesses and organizations that help to make our communities thrive Spreading Christmas Joy, One Light At A Time BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Don Krasley loves Christmas, and it shows. For the past 14 years, he has set up a Christmas display in his yard at 525 Woodland Drive, Manheim, and has invited the public to stop by and watch a light show set to music. His display will run every night from Thursday, Nov. 26, through Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021. The hours are 5:30 to 10 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays, and from 5:30 to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Krasley Christmas, which is what he calls his display, started as a joke between Krasley and his brother, who sent him a video of a commercial showing an elaborate display.
