We have an apology to make.

Amid all of the hubbub around Mike Babick’s Christmas display, we managed to overlook a pretty impressive piece of holiday awesomeness. Frankly, I’m not sure how it stayed off our radar. But an email last week opened our eyes to the glory that is the Dorr family’s choreographed Fontana Street display.

Here’s how it worked: Visitors drove up to the house, tuned their car radios to 91.1, and then watched as the lights blinked in choreographed glory to a Christmas playlist. You can get the full lowdown on Tim Dorr’s blog, or check out this video to get the gist of it:

Intro and Merry Christmas Happy Holidays – 2010 Dorr Christmas Display from Tim Dorr on Vimeo.

The display brought huge crowds, and many visitors made donations to the Children’s Miracle Network as a way to show their appreciation. The Dorrs presented a check for $2,952 to CMN on Jan. 7.

Unfortunately, if you missed the display this year (as we did) you may have missed your chance to see it on Fontana Street forever. One of Dorr’s neighbors told him the traffic caused by the display was an inconvenience, and Dorr said he wanted to respect his neighbor’s wish for privacy. But fret not: he’s in the process of scoping out other possible sites for the display next year.
