Castlehill Drive in the Village of Hemingway rocked on a recent evening as more than 100 residents of the Village of Hemingway were dancing in the street.
Singer Lisa Beck entertained the crowd as they danced among a dazzling display of christmas lights including a snowman which emitted sprays of snow over the happy crowd.
Neighbors Mike Stefan and Mike Mallimo have been erecting elaborate holiday decorations for the past six years including a 5-foot LED star on top of Stefan’s house that can be seen from Odell Circle. About four years ago the two Mikes and their wives, Melanie Stefen and Pat Mallimo, started hosting the neighborhood event along with their good friends, Jack and Maryann Horan.
Festivities kicked off with a dinner featuring a smorgasbord of delicacies brought by neighbors as well as those prepared by the hosts. The music included dance tunes and ballads which added to the festivities.
The decorations will be on display through the holidays and most every yard in the neighborhood has a lit Christmas tree.
