Our city has a contest in the local paper each year and we won.
Below is the link to the article and a link to a couple of videos if you are interested.
Thanks everyone for your help, I could not have done it without you.  Thanks RJ, the Lynx devices are the best.

Congratulations Jim!  Your setup looks fantastic!  Please tell me about the giant arches in your driveway.  I was wanting to do something like that but was not sure what to use.  Is it just PVC with lights wrapped on them?  Would you post some daytime pics of the driveway arches?  I would like to see them very much.  If you please.....

Thanks

Ron

Ron,
Yes it's just PVC.  Three sticks across with two strands of mini 100 lights. Two Red, two Green and two white per arch.  I did not want to glue it and tried taping last year and it fell apart, almost hit the wife's car.   <md..   This year I screwed it together and it worked great.  I drilled small holes in the concrete for rebar on the right side.   I'll get some pics this weekend if the rain will let me.

Thank you Jim.  I will be watching this post.

Another question.... What do you use to change the angles of the video and keep the audio going.  I guess it is a video program where you shoot the same sequence twice.  Splice them together but keep only one audio track?  What software do you do that with?

My son did it.  He used two cameras and then edited it in Sony Vegas. 
Sorry we had rain all weekend so I did not get any pictures of the arches.  I will post when I get to it.

Ok Jim.  I appreciate it very much.  Just post the pictures when you get a chance.  Any info like size and schedule 20 or 40 etc would be appreciated.  I really want them in my 2011 show.

Thank You!

Congratulations Jim! The show looks great.
Like the others, I like the driveway arches too. I have some already wrapped up that I wimped out on this year..probably a good thing too considering the winds we've had.
