Lighted angels seemsuspended over the arches at Domino’s Farms near Ann Arbor
‘“‘
,
‘Blessed Christmas’ di splay draws throngs of visitors
This “stained glass window” appears to grow out of the ground
Domino’s Farms “Blessed
Christmas’ lighting display was officially turned on this year just
beforeThanksgiving,
ThIs’occurred despite the fact that
Ann Arbor Township had passed an
ordinance controling special events’
lighting in an effort to shutdown the
display due to the back up of traffic in
1987.
“The judge ruled that the township
ordinance was vague and unconstitutional and threw out the township’s
case,” explained Dick Bnmvand,
public relations activities manager
for Domino’s Midwest Region.
The township had been successful
In keeping the lights from being turned on in 1918, but Brunvand said a
new traffic pattern has been designS to handle the great influx of cars
during the holiday season, “We tried
to work with the township on this but
they didn’twant to talk about it. They
are theones who filed suit against the
display.
“The judge rUled that the
township’s ordinance was so vague
that it could have prevented the ordinary homeowner from displaying
holiday lighting if a neighbor complained about them,” Brunvand added.
Whatever the past history of the
light display, the public obviously enjoys the huge lighted arches and
Nativity scenes.
In one week, more than 29,~0cars
had passed through the entrance on
Earhart Road off Plymouth Road
progressing around the loops to see
the magnificence of the display
which features an estimated 280,Th
lights.
In addition, more than $25,O~was
raised in one week for several
charities by donations from delighted
visitors dropping donations into
recepticales on the winding route.
The display can be viewed from
6:30-Il p.m. week nights and from
5:30 p.m. until midnight Saturdays
and Sundays from now until early
January.
Brunvand said the freewill donations are given to nine different
charities in the area. Included are
the American Red Cross, Habitat for
Humanity, Leaders in Prevention,
Mothers Against Drunk Driving,
Students Against Driving Drunk,
Meals on Wheels, World Vision, t,e
Exchange Club Center for the
Prevention of Child Abuse, Inc. and
St. AndrewsSoup Kitchen.
‘It’s (the freewill offering) is an
opportunity for people to express
their appreciation by giving back to
the community,” explained Phil
White, vice president and general
manager of Domino’s Farms Activities. “We feel this is the real spirit
of the season.
“Based on attendance at the light
display two years ago, the farms
hopes that $103,000 will be raised for
the charities to split,” White added,
Donations to the 1989 Christmas
charities are made at collection
booths located halfway into the
display route. Representatives from
each charity assist In the nightly collections,
Designated funds go to the named
charities while all other donations
are evenly distributed, White added,
In addition to the nine charities,
CS, Mott Children’s Hospital at the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
is conducting its annual Christmas
Tree Sale at Domino’s Farms. This is
underwritten by Donimo’s Pizza, Inc.
with proceeds from the trees sold going to the hospital, White noted,
The Christmas Tree Sale runs
through Dec. 23. Hours for the sale
are noon to 6 p.m. weekdays and 9
am. to6p.m. weekends,
Trees for sale include Scotch pine,
blue spruce, Douglas and Fraser firs,
live Colorado blue spruce plus
wreaths and garlands.
The large volume of traffic this
year has moved smoothly except for
Thanksgiving nIght (Nov. 23), according to Brunvand. “All routes
were at capacity shortly after the
lights were turned on that night.”
Working with the on-site deputies
from the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s
Department, the light displayteam
made a decision to turn off the lights
and disperse the traffic so that area
roads would not be backed up, Brunvand said. lie added that the special
off-duty deputies are hired by
Domino’s to facilitate the flow of traffic.
As part of the lighting plan this
year, news of the closing was immediately broadcast over WPZA 1050
AM Radio, located at the farms.
Other area radio and TV stations are
also notified, Brunvand added.
Lights were turned off and traffic
routed out of the area by 9 p.m.
Thanksgiving night.
Although the display double-loop
traffic system now in operation is
handling all the traffic in a safe manner, farms officials continue to
receive a variety of suggestions to
improve the flow which include a
system for odd license numbers one
night and even the next and the use of
shuttle buses from nearby parking
lots,
according
Brunvand.
Visitors
are to
asked
to respect the
residential and business area that
they pass through when they come to
the display and are encouraged to
avoid what are expected to be the
most popular times to view the lights.
These include Fridays, Saturdaysand Sundays as weil as Christmas
Day and New Year’s Day.
To get to Domino’s Farms from the
freeway, take US•23 to exit 41
(Plymouth Road) and go east to
Earhart Road, then north to the
farms.
Thomas Monaghan, founder,
owner and chairperson of the Board
of Directors of Domino’s Pizza, Inc.,
first established the “Blessed
Christmas” drive-through display In
1987 to provide a Christian celebration of the Christmas season,
The light display consists of 16
separate elements, inciuding three
lighted tunnels and two nativity
scenes, The display is powered by 10
generators in addition to the regular
electrical circuits,
The popularity of the 1987 display
revealed the potential for traffic congestion at peak viewing hours and the
display was not turned on for the 1988
Christmas season.
After nearly two years of planning
and study, a new traffic flow program has been developed and
reviewed with the Washtenaw County Road Commission, the State of
Michigan Department of TRansportation and the Washtenaw County
Sheriff, according to Brunvand,
This pian allows for the continual
movement of traffic on a double-loop
system aided by additional approach
lanes using the shoulders of
Plymouth Road leading to the entrance to the farms. Also sheriff
deputies’ coordination allows for an
orderiy shut-down procedure in the
event the traffic flow cannot be maintained.
Each loop of the double-loop
system is two miles long. If the
double-loop system can’t handle the
load a third route will open which is
the first step in the shut-down procedure. The third loop is 3.7 miles
long.
If all three loops cannot handle the
traffic load, the entire route will be
shut down for that evening.
Highlights of the display include.
• lighted fence lines at the entrance
to Domino’s Farms.
• several displays depicting the
Nativity and other Christian themes
• lighted star and angel tunnels
