The Weavers receive special recognition for beloved Christmas light display.
On July 11, The Circle of Corydon Award was presented to George and Dot Weaver at the Franklin County 4-H Fair for the annual Christmas light display by state representative Randy Lyness.
The Circle of Corydon Award is for Hoosiers who have made remarkable contributions to the betterment of Indiana and its people, demonstrating through life and service qualities exemplified by the state's greatest citizens.
The Weaver's Christmas Light display is a perfect example of a remarkable contribution as the Weavers have brought joy and Christmas spirit to the Franklin County community and the entire region for several years. The light display began in 1966 as Dot requested a strand of Christmas lights to be hung on the front porch. Now the display has over 100,000 Christmas lights displayed yearly and draws thousands of visitors.
"It's never been about them," Lyness stated while presenting the award. "They have done that out of love for the community of Franklin County."
The light display is at 2006 Snow Hill Road in West Harrison, with lights on from 6 to 10 p.m. each night from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve.
"If you haven't been there, you need to go," Lyness shared.
