It is sad that LaFayette residents have to pay such enormous electrical bills after Christmas for a pitiful display such as this. We all need to stand up for our rights.
Some of our elderly residents have $300 and $400 electrical and gas bills during the winter and only get small social security checks, often less than $300. Can’t we even give them a break? All of us concerned residents need to get together and stand up for our rights. If we don’t stop Bebe and her entourage from building a hotel we are also going to be paying county taxes to help fund that mistake. Look at all of the money she has already blown on unused buildings and property that she has purchased, trips out of the country ,(Mullis), and to Washington, New York an no telling where else and we continue to have to drive on rough roads all over the county. It is definitely time for a change in the city and also county!!! And, by the way, why are we sending our salt trucks over to Dade county when we have snow and ice?

I have to say that I agree with Wayne. Kids will enjoy flashing lights and music, which is why most kids movies have lots of colors, movement, and music. However, I also think that the citizens of this town shouldn’t have to shell out such a large chunk of cash every year for something that could be done differently to make it better and cost less. The Florida one Wayne referenced was probably privately done thus the $10 charge or even if the city was responsible for it, at least the admission charge would prevent any tax rate or utility bill increase. There’s always a better way to do stuff, however sadly around here there is never a worse way to do them.

I guess it gives the city cops something to watch in the evenings while the thieves, prostitutes, and drug dealers have their way in the fair city of Lafayette. It’s just another stupid idea cooked up to throw money away. King Solomon said “there is no new thing under the sun”. There is nothing that surprises me anymore in this town.

oh come on josh, you know you wanna get drunk.

Seriously though, my kids enjoyed the light show. Having said that…maybe only run the thing for a special weekend or two? It’d cost less, still be breifly available, and wouldn’t look tacky for too terribly long.

Oh yeah, Hegwood…I know you must simply be getting all kinds of tired of the partying…but Bobby, Ben, and I are having a New Years thing at Ben’s house.

Here’s hoping you’re the right Josh Hegwood…if not, then I guess it doesn’t matter what Ben, Bobby, and I do!

They’re in West LaFayette, across the tracks where the law seldom ventures.

I like the light show. I wish LaFayette would do more things like this. I had some friends from out of town visit and they saw this, loved it and wished their town had something like this.

you can’t afford it

I loved the light show that we had in town and so did my kids. My little one was dancing all over the place. lol I dont think its that big of a deal to have stuff like this in our town. We could use more stuff for our kids in this town and then maybe they will stay out of trouble.

I’ve said this time and again, people lighten up! Goodness crap. My kids are 5, 7. 9 and the two older ones could figure that out if they heard it more than once, but after that song we didn’t go back. The lights are cool for kids to see, no doubt. And I think that was a mistake to have that song in there. Its fine that the city has that, but I think the point is that they thought they’d make money off of it and it would bring people into town…that’s not going to happen…they aren’t coming to town to spend lots of money because of the Christmas lights. They are tacky, but kids don’t care, but did they really put it up for the kids? Also, sense of humor…it goes a long way!

we me Linda Taylor took my Great grand son,he had the time of his life he loved it, I also liked it, with Tammy Taylor his grand mother ,and Jessica Yarber his mom we all enjoyed it there was about 30 people there and more coming ,so i’m sure we were not the only ones, young and old ,some wre sitting, some were dancing.
