CEDAR CITY — Who needs snow? Immerse yourself in the holiday spirit by taking a stroll down Candy Cane Lane and giving back to those in need.
Along with their many elves, Ben Hohman and Marielle Boneau will once again be showcasing their holiday light display at 26 N. 1150 West in Cedar City, according to a press release issued earlier this month. And as part of the display, which is in its 18th year showing, donations will be collected for Make-A-Wish Utah.
The display has raised over $28,000 for Make-A-Wish in the 17 years it has been running. They also donate the value of their December power bill to the organization. Donations can be made at the display or online at the light display website, which has a link to the Make-A-Wish Utah online donation site.
The lights in the front of the home as well as some of the lights in the backyard are choreographed to “dance” with 20 Christmas songs. The display includes a walk down “Candy Cane Lane,” which leads through the backyard.
In the backyard, you can see Santa’s Flight School where reindeer are learning to fly, the Christmas Zoo, Winter Disco Land, Santa’s workshop, Gingerbread land, and other fun displays.
This year’s display includes over 65,000 lights, 55 plastic blow-molds, over 24 lighted animal sculptures, more then 30 inflatables, a homemade 9-foot wreath, three wire-frame animated sculptures and much more.
The display lights up each evening from 5:30-10 p.m. weather permitting starting on Dec. 2 and running through Dec. 31, weather permitting.
Donations also will be accepted through Venmo @benslightdisplay.
Ed. note: When making charitable contributions it is advisable to consult with professionals for tax advice and investment risks.
