The lights were relocated from the Red Brook location to the Children’s Museum with a gallant community effort, including volunteers from the Mashpee-Middle Highschool and the St John Paul II School. Volunteers transported the lights to there new home and many hands were onboard to install the display all around the museum’s exterior to create a drive-thru experience.

Elves will be available at the end of the display to collect donations from those who are so inclined. Your contribution will be counted towards a $40,000 matching grant that the museum has received to build a new exhibit.
