Yakima had its own version of a holiday light festival. It was a drive through event held on the grounds where the central washington state fair is normally held in the fall. The Ag museum was asked to bring some entries, and they had six things on site.

Hi All,

I went looking for something to satisfy my "itch" for the holidays and stumbled across a few interesting videos that I thought I'd share.

This shows what's possible using lots of low-power LED-type lights attached to a private residence:

2020 Christmas Light Show (about 3 min)

And this is even more amazing to me -- precision drone choreography. Drones in 3D space! Not a projection!

200 drones light up sky for Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival (about 5 min)

Biggest drone display ever! - Guinness World Records (about 2 min)

Enjoy!

A brief update: As of a letter I got dated Jul 6, 2020, the judge presiding over my Social Security Disability Income hearing on Jun 17, 2020 fully approved my claim. I heard sooner than I expected -- only three weeks -- but was told to expect it could be months or even longer than a year. Many, many thanks to Nina -- there's no way I could have navigated the bureaucracy as well as I did without your help!

My neck issues continue to slowly worsen (as expected) but I can still mostly take care of myself.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

Stay safe,

Todd
