McAdenville, NC calls itself Christmastown USA. Our friends, Richard and Lamar, invited us to go with them to see the lights of McAdenville.
According to Lamar the tradition of Christmas lights in McAdenville started years ago when it was a mill town. Everyone who decorated with Christmas lights got their electric bill paid for November, December and January by the family who owned the mill. The incentive worked and even though everyone pays their own electric bill, the lights were awesome and plentiful.
So were the cars, but Lamar knew a back way so we were able to miss nearly all the traffic and still enjoy the lights.
Here's an article about McAdenville.
Here's a link to images of McAdenville to give you an idea of the things we saw.
We also went to Tony's Ice Cream and had delicious milkshakes.
A fun night with good friends.
