NORWICH – For the last five years, the Warner Road home of Richard Lindner and Dr. Karen Banks has been surrounded with tens of thousands of Christmas lights during the holiday season.

With over 38,000 lights programmed to music, drivers can tune their radios to 94.9 FM to hear a transmission coming from the couple’s basement that broadcasts in intervals of over 10 minutes, creating a moving lights display to holiday melodies. The show runs repeatedly from about 5 to 9:30 p.m. every day.

The lights draw spectators and traffic, but also support for a good cause. The Lindner family provides a large food basket at the end of their driveway and collects food for the Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

This marks the third year Lindner family has held the drive during their Christmas light extravaganza. Non-perishable canned goods can be deposited in the Thomas the Tank Engine Train. Last year, the Lindners were able to collect 2,800 pounds of food for the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Food Pantry.
