Their website offers a sneak peak at what is to come, 'With the 2007 Christmas Season quickly approaching, work has been underway to prepare our display for the 2007 season. This holiday season, we will be adding more colors to our display. Last year, the 2006 display primarily used multi and blue colored mini-lights. For 2007, we are going to remove the multi lights and add red and green along with more blues. Adding three separate colors allows us to make several different color patterns and provides more flexibility with color changes and effects.'

There will also be a huge GRS Holiday display at the Nevada Power Company's main lobby located at 6226 West Saraha Ave. This event is open to the public and free for everyone. It is completely indoors so drop by and brose around this huge indoor lighted display.
