Hi {!firstname_fix} – Now it’s time to enjoy the Holiday season and participate in the first ever Christmas Lights Bicycle Tour, starting at Rush Park on Sunday, December 18 at 6:00 pm. 

Here's the scoop:

Meet at parking lot of Rush Park by 6:00 p.m. Sunday, August 18

• Once we've assembled, Chris will share the planned route to see the RHA Christmas Lights Celebration Recognition Award Winners.
• Please dress warmly.
  
• If you'd like you can decorate youself and or your bike with Christmas lights. Festive and not in any way required. Remember: Safety first
• They should wear night time bicycling safety equipment with lights, to make sure they can be seen on the streets

Above all, think Safety first

This the first time we've done this, so we really have no idea of how many people will join us. All are welcome. It's just another way to get together as a community and Celebrate the Lights and Rossmoor.

The full trip could take an hour or two and you can join or depart anytime along the way.  

At several locations, we were blatantly bribed, and it worked!  The passing of the Bailey’s shot glasses, and throwing candy canes through the windows were definitely influential and encouraged in years to come.

First Timers:  Every year we have rookie families entering their home in the celebration, and this year, every rookie made the map – first time ever.

After ten years we are so grateful for the following families for participating and decorating their homes to the extreme each of the ten years.  Major thanks to Jim & Patti Harris of Burney Place (actually to everyone in the cul-de-sac) with 100% participation again.  To Rich & Kay Butterfield of Salmon Drive – so much love and care go into their efforts.  To Lynnette & Tim O’Bryan, who have created multiple award winning displays.  Lynnette has also been a huge support, taking Christmas Lights photos in both dry and raining conditions for us.  To Jon & Vicki Hermstad, who started the arched driveways, and didn’t want any credit, just wanted to make people smile.  And to Randy & Maria Leavenworth, who designed and started the Rossmoor Holiday Light Post tradition on St. Albans, only to see it blossom to over 400 Rossmoor homes standing proud in our front lawns.

Now time for the Recognition Award Winners, followed by the homes we deemed as Honorable and worth Mentioning.  These are all the ones that made the Rossmoor Christmas Lights Hot Spots Map!
