Christmastown USA is the nickname for McAdenville, NC, a textile town that really puts on a spectacular show at Christmas each year. The attached photos are courtesy of Steve Rankin.
2006 is the 51st anniversary of the lights spectacular. This is a free event, and what makes it special is that it's the residents of the town who make it an event! Over 400 trees and hundreds of homes will be decorated and lighted from Dec 1 through Dec 26 to celebrate the holiday. The event was started by the Pharr family, of Pharr Yarns. The effort has been a joint one between the town of McAdenville and Pharr Yarns.
