I am no longer doing the dancing tree display. This site contains pictures and a few videos from the early beginnings of the park display. The display continues to grow and gets better each year. It is the #1 drive thru attraction in the Midlands of SC.

Some clips from the last year I did the dancing trees
This one I did not do. This was from last years display. I think it is obvious it is not my cup of tea but they did ok. Didn't even use the 3 Mega trees I spent weeks on..
Another one I did not do. Doesn't seem really Christmascy to me.
Saluda Shoals Park offered marshmallows for the visitors to buy and roast over a fire in 2004. See the story below courtesy of The State newspaper.
Come and run the Sleigh Bell Trot and view the display while running or walking through the park. It will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 21st.
