Resident Ben McArthur, co-owner of Christmas Delight, and his family put hundreds of hours into setting up and programming lights as well designing and constructing props.

“We started the company with the idea to bring a Christmas tradition” to the Casper area, McArthur told Oil City News. “It’s a fun way to get in the Christmas spirit. … We just keep dumping money into more lights every year. It’s been a fun time!”
