From handmade animatronics to penguins ice skating, Clark’s Crazy Christmas in Batavia just about has it all.
The sea of Christmas decorations can be found on Pleasant Meadows Drive. It’s all set up by homeowner Chris Clark.
“We start in August and as you can see today, I’m still working on it, have not gotten it all done,” Clark said.
Alex Null (WCPO)Clark has set up the show for the past five years. It’s part of his way of spreading joy during the holiday season.
The attention to detail is hard to miss, and Clark says it takes three to four months to set up.
The setup isn’t the only challenge, though. Clark also makes sure the thousands of daily visitors receive free hot cocoa to keep them warm.
It’s gotten so massive, that it recently caught national attention.
Clark’s display won ABC’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” earning him money and a trophy.
That trophy can be seen in the display, being polished by one of Clark’s handmade elf animatronics.
