Christmas at the Fischer's Place is an annual Christmas lighting display that is put together by Tim and Cathy Fisher and their family. Their light show features a computer-controlled program that "dances" to music as you listen to songs broadcast over an AM frequency. Listen to the sounds of Christmas as you enjoy the show at FM 103.3. The holiday light display is estimated to have around 35,000-40,000 lights, and takes days for the Fishers to set up. You'll enjoy the Peanuts gang, snowmen, angels, nativity scene, and so much more in this spectacular display of holiday lights and music.
