<h3>Drive-Through Experience Draws Crowds</h3>
<p>This year’s drive-through format was a hit, allowing visitors to enjoy the lights from the comfort of their cars. Open nightly from December 12 to Christmas Eve, the display saw a steady stream of 30 to 40 cars each evening.</p>
<p>The new setup wasn’t just about convenience; it also made the event more inclusive. Families could relax and enjoy the spectacle without braving the cold, adding to the appeal of this growing tradition.</p>
<h3>A Display with Heart</h3>
<p>Moon Farm’s light display serves a dual purpose. While spreading holiday cheer, it also supports The Grand Valley Equine Assisted Learning Center, a nonprofit organization focused on equine therapy. Visitors had the opportunity to donate, adding a layer of giving to the festive atmosphere.</p>
<p>“This is one of those opportunities for us to provide an outlet for the community to enjoy the holidays while also being a fundraiser for our nonprofit,” Muller explained. The event’s blend of joy and generosity embodies the holiday spirit, making it a gift to both the community and the nonprofit it supports.</p>
