HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY FANTASY OF LIGHTS

The inaugural edition of Holiday Fantasy of Lights was held in 1994.

This first edition of HFOL was hosted, installed and operated by the Broward County Parks Department in Tradewinds Park. The experience was a 1.2 mile drive with twenty six displays and tree lighting. The event was well attended and received positive exit interviews along with requests for more lights and larger displays. This launched the County’s commitment to hosting one of the best Holiday Light Shows in the Country.

The second edition featured a professionally designed and choreographed display program by Brandano Displays, Inc., the nation’s leader in the design and engineering of large scale holiday light events. Further investment was made in a new power distribution system. The experience was increased to include over 40 displays, computer-driven animation and drive-through displays throughout the park.

The event is 2.5 miles long and features over 65 larger than life displays, multiple animation techniques, 3D experiences and large scale spectaculars. HFOL is one of South Florida’s highest rated family holiday entertainment experiences.

The holiday season is here, and many pet parents plan to include their furry companions in the festivities. As you gear up for the holidays, it is important to try to keep your pet’s eating and exercise habits as close to their normal routine as possible.

Also, please be sure to steer pets clear of the following unhealthy treats, toxic plants and dangerous decorations.

Be Careful with Seasonal Plants and Decorations Oh, Christmas Tree: Securely anchor your Christmas tree so it doesn’t tip and fall, causing possible injury to your pet. This will also prevent the tree water—which may contain fertilizers that can cause stomach upset—from spilling. Stagnant tree water is a breeding ground for bacteria, and your pet could end up with nausea or diarrhea should he imbibe.

Avoid Mistletoe & Holly: Holly, when ingested, can cause pets to suffer nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Mistletoe can cause gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular problems. And many varieties of lilies can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested.

Opt for just-as-jolly artificial plants made from silk or plastic, or choose a pet-safe bouquet.

Tinsel-less Town: Kitties love this sparkly, light-catching “toy” that’s easy to bat around and carry in their mouths. But a nibble can lead to a swallow, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, severe vomiting, dehydration and possible surgery.

It’s best to brighten your boughs with something other than tinsel.

That Holiday Glow: Don’t leave lighted candles unattended. Pets may burn themselves or cause a fire if they knock candles over. Be sure to use appropriate candle holders, placed on a stable surface. And if you leave the room, put the candle out!

Wired Up: Keep wires, batteries and glass or plastic ornaments out of paws’ reach.

A wire can deliver a potentially lethal electrical shock and a punctured battery can cause burns to the mouth and esophagus, while shards of breakable ornaments can damage your pet’s mouth and digestive tract. © American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. All rights reserved.
