We are excited to add some big trees near our beautiful silver and gold deer this coming up season. This will give us the chance to add more pops of color in the scene.

Hmmmm, what else could we add to bring more color but keep the beauty in this scene?

Last week to donate shoes!!
Nick will be delivering them in to school next Monday.

Thank you to those that have dropped off and supported the recycle sneaker drive these past two weeks!

This is supporting our environment and our kids in the National Elementary Honors Society at Phillis Wheatley in Woodbridge.

We will have this open for another week.
Just drop off used or old sneakers in our bin at the entrance at Merry Lane.

Our team has big plans for our tunnel, always. It’s such a beautiful piece of the show with so much potential still. We would love your input!!

During the Christmas Expo last month, we had various ideas and suggestions from Christmas experts, and overall appreciations for the beauty in our North Pole Passage.

We would love your thoughts on the tunnel.
Do we fill it more full of pixel lights and create an immersive light show experience as you drive through? Picture lights all around you.

Do we keep it classic and classy, with sparkly colored lights on the top, but on the sides use garland and white lights to accentuate the architecture detail in the tunnel?

Or did you love how it was last year? Or other ideas?

Today we are excited to share Rosemary Everton, Founder and owner of Mid-Atlantic Services A-Team Corp, will be sharing her story at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth during her book signing event. 1:30pm-3:30pm.

Rosemary and her husband Mike Everton are the reason there is a Merry Lane. Allowing us to use their land and resources to make the magic happen, and supporting us every step along the way.

Rosemary’s story is full of hope, strength, and faith, and one that gives the reader and enlightening and inspiring perspective on reaching your goals.

Join us on May 2nd at 1:30PM for an in-store signing with author Rosemary Everton!

Against overwhelming odds, Rosemary refused to be defined by her circumstances. While juggling motherhood, night school, and work, she and her husband Mike built a cleaning business from the ground up--transforming a small residential service into a multimillion dollar commercial cleaning enterprise. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and unwavering commitment.

The book chronicles not just a business success story, but a deeply personal narrative of overcoming tragedy. From losing children to navigating family challenges, financial struggles, and workplace obstacles, Rosemary demonstrates an incredible capacity for resilience. Her story takes an unexpected turn when President George H.W. Bush publicly celebrates her achievements during a high school graduation speech, bringing her remarkable journey into the national spotlight.

More than a memoir, Maid in America is a masterclass in entrepreneurship. Rosemary shares candid insights into building a successful business, including lessons on patience, consistency, trust, and never burning professional bridges. Her wisdom extends beyond business, offering profound reflections on marriage, family, and maintaining hope through life's most difficult moments.

If you'd like one signed just for you, be sure to pop on by or give us a call if you can’t be here- 302.226.2665!

Another donation!
This time a large tree and lots of lights!!!
Thank you Rob from Insight Homes for this beautiful donation.

Jamie Gatton of Merry Lane said we needed more color in our gold and silver field of deer as you exit. This big beautiful tree will go nicely with the deer, and an easy way to add a pop of color to the scene.

Merry Lane is all put away, minus two larger items tha we will be taking down in February.
These jumping reindeer, a project taken on by one of our junior members was the last item to be taken down. These reindeer have a new home in our family garage where they will get some love for next season. This season the zip ties didn’t hold and a few of the reindeers were face planting into the ground…..
We will be changing their mounting setup and helping them stay put throughout the season.
