It is that time of year again! Kennywood Holiday Lights, which opens this Friday 11/15/24, has been growing every year, and this year will feature 26 days of operation (weather permitting), and we have managed to grow our mainline from 356 feet last year to 358 feet this year. We began working on the layout on November 4 and have been hard at work to get the layout up and ready. We still have a lot of work to do, but in the mean time, here are some photos showing some of the setup process:
On Sunday 11/3, we planned the layout using scale module templates made out of scrap plywood at the Monroeville Greenberg show.
After the show, we went straight to Kennywood to offload 2 trailer loads and several car/truck/van loads.
Starting Monday 11/4, several more trailer and car/truck/van loads were hauled in and work was started.
Working inside the park when it is closed is strange, but it offers the opportunity to see some of the lights without crowds and other lights:
