I wonder if they had a rule that they had to do it themselves instead of paying other people to do some lavish, over the top display. It wouldn't be much of a contest if they both just paid people to do it.

Watch the video at that link, I tried to embed it to use Zero's fancy tools but unfortunately I only know how to do youtube.

Anyway, Greg did his by himself and with his cousin so it sounds like it is something they do on their own. If you look close too they do a solid job with a simple display. I like it.

Gotta go with Jennings on this one. His display is just classier, hate those icicle lights that Jones has.

Maybe Zero can answer this, but in Gb I am not sure they have those HUGE mansions??

Jones lives across the street from one of the scale techs I work with, its not that big of a house.

One of Favre's was pretty big though.

I know where Jennings lives, but never drove past to stalk, err check it out.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting a Griswold  like effort.




Greg wins... It is a subliminal Message.. Notice there are only TWO BLUE EXHIIBITS That Stand Out...

The one in the front, represents Donald Driver grazing in the pasture over the middle.

The Second Blue Exhibit represents Greg... Wide Open Deep Down Field.

Every year La Crosse puts on the Rotary Festival of Lights in Riverside Park, with the number of lights growing each year. This year it featured over 2.6 million lights. See video below.

http://www.wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=11569809 

Here is a video from 2007, but as I said, the number of lights has grown significantly since then:

Here is a video of the north side of the park, featuring the synchronized music-light display from this year.

From last year:

From 2006:

None of the videos do this display any justice. You must see it for yourself. I am a Grinch and even I like the display. Admission is free but they accept donations of food or cash.

dfosterf (6m) : *Friday*
dfosterf (8m) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (9m) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (21m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (28m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (28m) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (30m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (32m) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (33m) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (38m) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (39m) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (40m) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (41m) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
dfosterf (1h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
dfosterf (1h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (1h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (7h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea
dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
