The Portwood family have been lighting up the holiday season for years, and continue a tradition in Hiram this year that is free fun for all ages to enjoy through year’s end.
Just following the Thanksgiving holiday, the lights switched for the 8th year in a row on at 20 Valley Drive in Hiram at the Portwood family home, providing a chance to enjoy nightly through December 31 the light display they put up annually.
Though it is free for all to enjoy – parking is not provided and is along the roadway for those who plan to visit – they are taking collections to help with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office by gathering donations of socks, and through the end of the year also collect canned goods for North Paulding Baptist Church.
The family asks just a few things: no pets, no smoking and park in designated and marked areas, avoiding neighbors yards unless otherwise designated.
