People from all around the area knew about the Lights on Cannonball. For many years he brought so much joy to so many families during the Christmas season. He loved working on the display throughout the year. Paul’s favorite part of doing the display each year was seeing all the families that would come to watch the dancing lights and going to the road to meet them and give out candy canes.
