1M lights! Fun for the whole family at "Christmas Carnival of Lights" at Jellystone Camp in Caledonia

CALEDONIA -- You and your family can get into the Christmas spirit at the "Wisconsin Christmas Carnival of Lights" at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Camp Resort in Caledonia!

The campground, owned by the Isaacson family, first hosted the "Carnival of Lights" display in 2009. According to the event's website, the family wanted to share one of their favorite holiday traditions -- going out and enjoying the holiday lights -- with their customers.

The event has grown in popularity each year.

According to the event's website, the Isaacson family designs, paints, cuts and assembles each display that's part of the event themselves. They're unique displays that you'll only see at Jellystone Camp Resort. The family spends five weeks in October and November setting up the displays and building new ones -- so that there's something new every year.

Wisconsin Christmas Carnival of Lights benefits the Ronald McDonald House Charities/

The Ronald McDonald House is a "home away from home" for families whose lives have been disrupted as a result of their child's illness or injury. Since their doors opened in 1984, more than 34,000 families have called the Ronald McDonald House in Milwaukee home. They offer a place to call home at little or no cost so families can stay together which helps their child heal faster.

$1 per car (up to 4,000 cars) will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

Additionally officials have donated $1,500 in certificates for families of the Ronald McDonald House to come view the holiday light show.
