An exquisite Christmas light display in Forsyth County was used for a good cause this year, generating thousands of dollars for local youth organizations.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the “Christmas in Castille” light show in Alpharetta raised $4,000 to benefit Jesse’s House and Bald Ridge Lodge, organizations which provide assistance to Forsyth’s girls and boys. Christmas in Castille reports its original fundraising goal for the year was $700.
The light show ran from Dec. 4 to Dec. 27 between 6 and 9 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays. The home at 4220 Tivoli Way was decked out with more than 55,000 Christmas lights expertly synched to music, providing a dazzling and fun Christmas display for families.
