Overly's Country Christmas of Lights
Calendar: Local Calendar
Quercus  
01 Jan 2008
November 16, 2007 - January 1, 2008
5:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sunday-Thursday
5:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Friday-Saturday
The display features 2.4 million twinkling lights. If all the strands of lights were put end-to-end it would stretch to Mars! (That's Mars, PA!)
The display lights 15 acres of the Westmoreland Fairgrounds with 5 acres accessible to the guests through the Christmas Village and walk-through area.
The display draws enough electricity to light a small community of homes with every single light and electrical appliance turned on at the same time.
The electricity used could turn on over 100,000 one hundred watt bulbs all at the same time.
It takes up to 45 volunteers each night to run the display.
Overly's Country Christmas has had nearly 1,000 volunteers committed throughout the year to carry on the tradition Harry Overly created over a half century ago.

Wired to Win
Calendar: Local Calendar
Quercus  
01 Jan 2008
Wired to Win, an extraordinary new film in IMAX®, showcases the amazing ability of the human brain to overcome adversity, accomplish the near-impossible, and power each of us to victory and success in life.

The brain’s abilities are illustrated through cyclists racing in the Tour De France. Over the course of the event, they are caught up in hair-raising crashes, dramatic battles over the Alps and Pyrenees and action-packed descents down steep mountain roads. Their ultimate goal? The finish line on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

The film raises the questions "how do they do this?" and "why do they do this?" Ultimately the answers lie within the mind and the human brain itself.


$8 adults; $6 children 3-12 and seniors 62+

$7/$5 for members
