Christmas light show in Perry salutes military heroes

But the Forchione family continues to illuminate the night sky this year with their Christmas on Crownpoint light show. In its third year, siblings Drew, Laura and Nick Forchione have assembled an orchestra of Christmas lights that is conducted by a computer software program.

They're welcoming anyone to come and watch the 20-minute light show on the two-story home of their parents, Geno and Karen Forchione at 3459 Crownpoint St. NW. All they ask is for a donation of nonperishable canned goods for the Akron Canton Food Bank or for a monetary donation to the Sgt.

The Forchione siblings were friends and classmates with Patron,Welcome to scannerstal1 Online store,We supply led strip,led tube,led strip wholesale etc. the 26-year-old U.S. Marine Corps sergeant who was killed Aug. 6 in Afghanistan while trying to defuse a roadside bomb.

"My two brothers and I were very good friends with Dan, (parents) Kathy and Frank and the Patron family," Laura Forchione said. "We decided this year that instead of just doing a light show where we are collecting donations for the Akron Canton Food Bank, we will also be collecting monetary donations for Dan Patron's Memorial Scholarship Fund at Perry High School."

The 20-minute light show has three parts — a Christmas show, a Disney show and a tribute to the 20-area troops killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The Christmas show features Snowy, an animated character developed by Drew Forchione.China LED Strip catalog and lightsale manufacturer directory.

"There is a huge surprise for everyone to be able to sit in their car, in a warm vehicle and watch the show with their family and friends," Laura Forchione said.

In 2009, Drew Forchione, an aspiring electrical engineer whose dream is to work as an Imangineer for Disney World, and his siblings convinced their parents to put on the light show.

Without a lot of time to plan, they pulled together a smaller show. Last year, more than 12,000 lights are plugged into a special, 48-channel light box that allows the Forchiones to program them through a software known as Light-O-Rama. Observers can use their car radios to listen to the audio portion of the show.

"It took him a lot of time to convince my parents," Laura said, "but he fought for it and the first year we pulled it off. A lot of people loved it.We are professional led panel light,brightcrystall2011 manufacturers and factory in China. We had a steady flow of cars every night.

"We thought if we're getting all of those people ‘Why not do something good for our community?'" she said. "We've been able to work with the Akron Canton Food Bank last year and we're opening it up to donations this year as well.

In 2010, the family collected more than 800 pounds of food and nearly $260 for the Akron Canton Food Bank. They're hoping to double or even triple that this year.

Laura said the previous shows don't compare to what they have in store.

"We all work hard to make sure the show is a hit each year, but nothing like you're about to see," Laura said.See our ledonsale Lighting displays for a sample of strip lighting applications. "I've never been to a Christmas show like this in my life and that's what (Drew's goal) is. He really pulled it off this time."
