In a world of negativity, here's some positivity for your weekend. Sharing our experiences at a local small eatery.

Shout out to
Gustto Empanadas in Hernando!
Great people, great prices and an artistic experience!
These folks have been great to us EVERY time we have been in.

We definitely love the food and were the first customer to fill up their loyalty card!

Until now, it was our best kept secret. But they deserve the success and support!
You all know we love to support small businesses.
BIG empanadas and they taste great! My favorite is the country beef with cheese.
We've tried a bit of everything including the gusto platter and even their homemade drinks.

This is another one of those great small mom & pop food places (not fast food). Since the start they have been very welcoming. Have given us great customer service and they always have a smiling face. (Even when it's hot outside and they are roasting inside)
Give them a little extra time as everything is cooked to order.
(Not premade)

They are open Thursdays through Sundays from 12:30p to 6:00 p.m.
Right off the bike trail in Hernando (beside the gas station)

Hope you all enjoy :)

A very special thank you to all of those who donated toys to the toy drive for CASA Citrus this year. This year was a bit slower for donations. Which was understandable considering how the economy has been lately. But you guys still came through! These bags were already taken up to Casa.
But apparently we forgot to post the pictures for everyone.

The good thing about Casa citrus, is that they help people year-round. Not just for Christmas.
And all of your donations help *local* families :)

If interested, you can help them year round as well. Simply by following their page and seeing what their weekly immediate shelter needs are. Something as simple as a $5 or $10 feminine or hygiene item can help and you can even have it shipped to them without ever leaving your house!

Thank you to everyone for always making these toy drives possible. All we do is provide the venue. You guys are the ones behind the scenes who truly rock!
Thank you again everyone :)

New Years Lightshow remix is now live and our show is only on through January 5th!! This gives families something to do now, New Year's Eve, New Year's night or even a couple days after.
(New Year's Eve we typically leave the lights on later)

So if you're looking to get that last minute enjoyment of our lightshow in, come on out to the show any night between now and January 5th. We have added Halloween and dance favorites back to the playlist. We have removed all of the Christmas songs.

Here's to bigger and better things for the new year. Thank you to the new friends that we have met this year. And thank you to all of those who made this year a great turnout. Especially to the Citrus Merry-Makers for forming a group of Christmas cars and really changing the way people viewed them in the county. We are proud to call you guys our new friend family!

With the new year comes our remixed upbeat playlist. You won't find anything slow on this one. This is hang out and enjoy yourself type of party music.

This is something we've done every year for our fans to get the last few days of enjoyment in before the lights go off until October

Final chance to come out and enjoy our light show. We want to say thank you to everyone who has come out this year. We definitely met some new friends this year.

Keep in mind our light show is ending soon. It is only on through January 5th. That has always been our tradition. This gives families something to do New Year's Eve, New Year's night or even a couple days after.

We are on the verge of possibly doing something very big. We have teamed up with just the right people and are working on putting together a team of laborers that will benefit the local community.

Just like many experienced with pricing quotes for their lights this year, we all know that prices are getting out of control here and people are charging up to four times what they should. There used to be companies that were happy with just getting by not trying to ruin their customers financially.

Have no fear!
We are working on getting a team together to bring joy and happiness year round!
Not just through holiday displays, but by being that extra set of hands that others can never seem to get to show up. The difference is, that we will actually show up!

How do we do that? Simple by doing honest work, at honest prices and not turning down those jobs that are too small. That one small job could turn into hundreds of others. Some businesses have forgotten that...

*We will not be able to do anything that's licensed (trade) or requires permiting*

But for those who need a general laboror or somebody to help out, you know how hard it can be in this community to get somebody to actually show up to the job. (Or even to show up for a quote)

What if a few of the biggest light displays in the county teamed up, And literally created a year-round side business that wasn't all about getting rich. It was about providing a service to the community and getting by while charging affordable rates (like most businesses used to).

There are many good companies around here.
Don't get me wrong. But there are also a lot of local companies that have lost that customer service approach. There are also companies who feel they need to make an entire month's income off of one job.

Not the team we are assembling. We are just going to offer second opinions on general labor work.

Tired of being quoted over $500 for someone to come out for 2 and 1/2 hours and put mulch in your flower beds for you? What if you could get it done for less than half that price, by good honest hard-working people who are known for bringing happiness to the community?
This could be a win-win for everyone!

Side work, side jobs, low voltage permanent holiday lighting, general handyman, off season lighting installs and so on.

(Sorry nothing that requires permitting/licensing)

This is something that is going to possibly be in the works. I think we finally have the right people to make this vision happen.

Do you think this would be a benefit to you or others in the community?

Edit for those who are missing the point of doing this.
**General labor helping people out**
Pay attention to the details please...

Here you have somebody talking about actually doing something good for the community.
Save your negativity for your own page.

PARTY TIME! Our light show went rogue. We now have some of our Halloween favorites back in the playlist. The lights are still on every night through January 5th. If you missed it this year during our Halloween show, we have brought back some of those songs for the new year.

As lighting season winds down, this is the last hoorah for everyone to be able to enjoy the lights until next October.

Our lights will be on every night beginning at dark and stay on until 10:30 p.m.

For those wondering just how effective our Christmas light display list is...
In only 13 days time, there were over 7,000 map views 👀

You too can join the list for next year if you have a larger than average display. All you have to do is send us a message towards the end of November next year and send a photo of the completed display along with all of the details.

It really is just that simple. The reason for the photo is so that we can verify it is in fact a larger than average display. (You would be surprised how many people put up two strings of lights and want to be added to the list)
Nothing against them but 99% of people want to go to the larger displays. So those are the ones that make our list after verification.

Don't forget some of these light displays are still on through New Year's Eve.

Our Lightupcitrus lightshow is on until January 5th :)

Throwback Thursday Remix! New light show playlist beginning tonight. Bringing back the Halloween light show favorites.

Since Christmas Has officially passed, The Grinch has once again stolen Christmas.
We are going to try something a little different and begin the celebration and party aspect of the new year early!

There will still be *some* of our Christmas songs in the mix, but we are bringing back a lot of the upbeat and fun songs from our 2024 Halloween lightshow. Eminem, shaboosie, imagine dragons, gremlins parody, Beetlejuice and more!

Yes that means the music will be heavier and metal will be put back into the mix along with other music genres that are popular with the younger generation:)
Back to PG-13 songs we go :)

If you missed the Halloween show this year, we are bringing back parts of it for the New Year's show!

One of Citrus counties Holiday homes

Our display has grown over the years and we have been in our current location since 2015. Our Holiday displays are known for being more of a focus on Halloween and Christmas. We do have landscape lighting for other holidays as well. Our display is computer controlled and FM broadcast to the street so you can enjoy the lights dancing to music. We also have speakers in our display for those who like to get out of their vehicles and check things out.

While viewing our display we must stress that all visitors keep their radio volumes to a minimum as we respect our neighbors and want to continue our display. In years past some visitors have been a Grinch and decided to blast their radios and honk horns. Please do not do that. Respect our neighbors and keep radio volumes to a minimum. We want to continue to spread joy to others through our display and keeping our neighbors happy is very important to continuing the show.

Our Halloween light show is normally the first week of October through Halloween night.

Our Christmas light show starts Thanksgiving night and runs through Jan 5th. If you come by the week before thanksgiving to see the progress, You may even catch a sneak peak of our light show being tested. Sometimes we literally have to sit in front of the lights with the computer to sort out conflicts and program everything to run properly.
