Said to have been the largest spiritual light display in the world, the St. Nicholas Light Display, begun in the mid-80s, concluded after the 2001 season. The drive-through activity included indoor creche displays, meeting St. Nicholas, food (including Domino's Pizza, of course), crafts, gingerbread village and an indoor train—all in addition to the display of over three million lights. Nearly $1,000,000 was raised for charities, though the project ran at a deficit with Domino absorbing costs to meet charity commitments. The show was open from mid-November through December, covering 300 acres.
