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.
The display 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 one hundred watt bulbs all at the same time.
It takes up to 45 volunteers each night to run the display.
Overly's Country Christmas has had nearly 1,000 volunteers committed throughout the year to carry on the tradition Harry Overly created over a half century ago.
