Realtor Drums Up Food Donations At His Beautiful Light Display

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Realtor Bryan Bartlett knows a thing or two about homes, but people love stopping by his. That's because Bartlett creates an elaborate holiday display that draws throngs of people to his property to check out his fun Ravens feature, dance to the Baby Shark song and drop off food donations. He even has a live character dancing on a light-up disco floor to the music synced with the lights.

"We give out hot chocolate, popcorn (most nights) and candy canes," Bartlett noted on Facebook.

Bartlett begins putting up his lights toward the end of November, officially launching the light show after the start of December and leaves them up through Dec. 31. There's still time to check out his fun and festive display from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., weather permitting, at 4802 Red Hill Way. Don't forget to bring along a donation for the food bank. As of Christmas Day, 1,400 pounds of food had been donated.

"We blew through our goal of 1,000 pounds ... Thank you everyone who dropped off food to us. Let's shoot for 2,000 pounds," Bartlett challenged on Facebook.
