Details: Ralph Schuler has been creating a moving lights display at his home in the West End for years — and last year was supposed to be his last.

But he’s decided to return this year to help his neighbor raise money for the Central Virginia Food Bank.

Expect about half the lights — around 125,000 — at Shelley Road this year.

They’ll still be synchronized to holiday music like “Wizards in Winter,” “The Little Drummer Boy” and other holiday favoriters.

New this year: RGB technology that produces up to 2 million colors.

Schuler’s spectacular moving lights display will kick off Thanksgiving night at 5:15 p.m.

Tune into 99.5 FM on your car radio to hear the music that corresponds to the light display.

The Schuler-Hatcher home was featured in Bruce Littlefield’s “Merry Christmas, America! Megawatt Displays Across the U.S.A.” The house will light up Thanksgiving, Nov. 24 through New Year’s Eve. Raising money for Central Virginia Food Bank.

Area of town: West End, near Forest and Patterson avenues

Hours: From dark to 11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; on Friday & Saturday from dark to midnight.
