    Does anyone know of a site locally that tells you where all the lights are? I know awhile ago, one of the radio stations had like a tacky Christmas Tour. Where you go see all the lights at various subdivisions. Not the ones that just lit up a bush or two but the full fledge Griswold type Christmas Decorations. Anyone know? My kids would love to see something like that. We go riding around every year & we've been to Meadow but a Tacky Light Tour would be just a lot of fun. Thanks in advance.

    There are usually some homes back off of Amelia Church Road (between Shotwell and Guy Road) that have some pretty good displays. As you're going up Amelia Church Road, you can turn right immediately after passing Shotwell and go back up in there and possibly find some good lights.

    There is a house off 401 on 1010. Just as you turn down 1010 a little ways it is on the left. I think there was one last year also on Kildaire Farm Rd.

    We went to Meadow Lights on opening night, Nov. 20th. Fun! Also, my niece and her hubby took us to a place in Knightdale last year that was pretty cool! I'll have to get details from her.

    Thanks everyone. We also went ot Meadow the day after Thanksgiving. We go every year and have so much fun. Umm, candy store....dangerous thing--LOL. Looking now for just a fun time to drive around & look at lights. We do that anyhow but are seeing if anyone here knows of some real places that you "just have to see." Keep them coming! Love new places to go.

    nothing unless you take the train ride which I think is a few bucks per person!

    ...or if you take a stroll through the general store and become tempted. They have a lot of candies, fruits and old-fashioned syrups and spreads. Plus, I think there is a charge for the carosel. From what I understand, there is an awesome place down in Duplin County or nearby, which offers carriage rides through the woods where they have lights throughout. They also have a restaurant and from what I understand, there are long waits for both.
