4910 Nugent Drive
Since 2014, Mark at 4910 Nugent Drive has been transforming his home into a dazzling holiday light display with a bigger purpose: giving back to the community. What began with just 165 pounds of donated food in his first year has grown into a beloved neighborhood tradition supporting Care and Share Food Bank.
In 2025, Mark and the community shattered previous records, collecting an incredible 7,325 pounds of food donated to Care and Share Food Bank. On top of that, $1,009 was raised for Springs Rescue Mission, helping support critical services for neighbors in need. This year’s generosity even crossed state lines, with food donations shipped directly to Mark through Amazon from supporters as far away as California and Tennessee—proof that holiday kindness has no ZIP code.
Mark’s efforts continue to grow because of a simple belief he’s always loved, inspired by a classic Garfield quote: “Christmas. It’s not the giving, it’s not the getting, it’s the loving.” That spirit of love is at the heart of everything he does—using lights, music, and a little holiday magic to bring people together for something greater.
Long before partnering with local nonprofits, Mark decorated his home simply to spread joy. Over time, that joy evolved into a powerful tradition that blends festive fun with meaningful impact, supporting Care and Share Food Bank and Springs Rescue Mission while creating a true sense of community.
The 2025 display lit up on November 21st and features a playful Grinch-themed addition that visitors of all ages will love. Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations for Care and Share and monetary donations for Springs Rescue Mission, both of which can be dropped off on site. Can’t make it in person? Supporters can also send food donations directly through Amazon—an easy way to give from anywhere.
The lights and music run nightly from 4:15 PM to 10:45 PM, with music ending at 9:45 PM out of respect for nearby neighbors. The display continues through January 1st, spreading holiday cheer, generosity, and a whole lot of love night after night.
2572 Pony Club Lane
Steve McKinney had a vision: to create a unique way to fundraise for a cause that truly matters. After watching videos of homes with dazzling, choreographed light displays, inspiration struck—and Pony Club Lights was born!
Steve, along with Alex and Julie, has been running this magical light show for five years, spreading holiday cheer throughout the community and the city. Over the years, their efforts have raised more than $3,000 for No Kid Hungry, a charity dedicated to ending childhood hunger. This year, they hope to double that impact! If you’d like to contribute to this meaningful cause, visit join.nokidhungry.org/goto/ponyclublights and help make a difference for children across America.
The Pony Club Lights show features three delightful characters—Blinky, Linky, and Reginald—who guide you through the experience with humor and joy, introducing the songs that make up this whimsical display. You can tune in to the show by listening on your car radio at 104.7 FM, streaming it on your phone at player.pulsemesh.io, or pressing the button in front of the display to hear it through the show speakers.
Gather your family and friends, stay cozy in your car, and enjoy this heartwarming light show. It’s a festive and fun way to celebrate the holidays while supporting a great cause.
