YORK, Pa. - Christmas Magic in Rocky Ridge County Park has opened for the season. The light display involves 600,000 lights. It takes about ten people to pull off the display.

"Actually, we're working on, this year, around new things, buying new things and the layout in the summer. Then, sometime in the later part of August we get our crew up here and start getting serious," said Jeri Jones, who manages the park.

They spent the whole week making sure each strand works. For 32 years they have been putting on the display. They say they now use all LED lights. It helps the environment, cuts back on the bills, and is more reliable.

Families can walk through the display every night through December 31. The event will be closed Christmas Eve and Day.
