HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY FANTASY OF LIGHTS XXII The inaugural edition of Holiday Fantasy of Lights was in 1993. This first edition of HFOL was hosted, installed and operated by the Broward County Parks Department and 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.

HFOL PLANNING AND SETUP NEVER ENDS Visitors are surprised to hear that as they drive thru the 2016 HFOL event the planning for the 2017 edition is already in full swing.

Planning for each edition begins one year from the opening night (The Friday of Thanksgiving Weekend). Planning is a year round focus for Brandano Displays staff; while setup is typically a seasonal project beginning in September and ending in February at takedown. HFOL planning includes: selection of displays, engineering of electrical distribution, design and production of new displays, development of promotional materials and development of the operational program for the Event.

HFOL setup begins with the early September delivery of four tractor trailer, loads of lights, displays, electrical distribution and hardware. There is over two miles of extension cords five miles of lightline, 1,000 + parts to 70 displays and thousands of light bulbs.

Brandano staff and volunteers work for eight weeks to clean, re-bulb, distribute, assemble, erect and electrify the displays.

On opening night, just when we think everything is done we are reminded that there is just 52 weeks until opening night of HFOL XXIII.

HFOL AND CONSERVATION The Holiday Fantasy of Lights has been designed with the following as key environmental criteria:

2.

1.

Display Orientation. Traditionally, holiday light attractions were centered on hundreds of thousands of lights laced in trees and foliage. Brandano Displays, Inc. has integrated professionally designed displays (metal sculptures outlined with lights) and reduced the use of tree lighting at HFOL by approximately 50%. HFOL was designed to minimize the use of lights in trees and shrubs by employing large-scale sculptures which make use of space within the design of the display.

Displays. HFOL displays are designed two-dimensional and employ 60% less lights than three-dimensional displays.

3.

Packaging. Traditionally, companies producing holiday events box all products for shipping with elaborate containers and crates. HFOL has eliminated packaging waste from shipping by using comlete truckload deliveries. This eliminates the environmental packaging waste of: paper, wood, cardboard and plastics.

4.

Power Consumption. Reducing power consumption at HFOL while maintaining the quality of the display is an ongoing process at Brandano Displays, Inc. Bulb spacing on displays has been changed to use less power per display.

High efficiency lighting has been employed where feasible. The use of floodlights within HFOL has dramatically reduced the power consumption in illuminated trees.

5.

Extended Life Displays. Traditionally, holiday decorations are designed and engineered for a life of less than three (3) seasons. Brandano Displays, Inc. has reduced the disposal of decorations by producing long-life products which, with professional maintenance, have a life of over ten (10) years. These displays are rotated each year with other nationwide events using the products. This reduces the disposal of steel, wire and plastic parts and conserves on the consumption of these components in replacement products.

SOFT HOLIDAY COOKIES Recipe by Georgie Bowers

Total Time: 3 hrs Prep: 20 min | Cook: 8 min Level: Intermediate Yield: 48 cookies INGREDIENTS

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup margarine, softened 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed. Cover dough, and chill for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a clean floured surface, roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are barely brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. © 2016 this recipe and many more can be found at www.allrecipes.com
