Come See Our Spectacular Display!

What started out as a few small decorations in 2000 has grown into a spectacular display featuring hundreds of thousands of lights. Quick Response Restoration proudly hosts Santa’s Playland.

It is no secret that Quick Response owner Vince Laurenzo Sr.’s favorite holiday is Christmas, and Vince & his team have made plans to make this year’s Christmas lights display the best yet. Taking almost 2 months to assemble, our annual Christmas lights display dazzles with festive and familiar sights, including the Candy Factory, Tumbling Gingerbread Men, Santa’s Sleigh with Reindeer Team, Busy Elves, and A Patriotic Salute. Tune in to 88.5 FM when driving through and you might just hear from Santa himself!
