The display features 2.4 million
twinkling lights. If all the strands of lights were put end-to-end it would stretch to Mars! (That's Mars, PA!)
The display lights 15 acres of the Westmoreland Fairgrounds with 5 acres accessible to the
guests through the Christmas Village and walk through area.
It draws enough electricity to light a small community of homes with every
single light and electrical appliance turned on at the same
time.
The electricity used could turn on over 100,000 100 watt bulbs
all at the same time.
It takes up to 75 volunteers each night to
run the display.
Overly's Country Christmas® has nearly 1000 volunteers committed throughout the year to
carry on the tradition Harry Overly created nearly a half century
ago.
