Abstract:
It began a half-century ago in McAdenville, a small town of 600 people with wonderful Christmas decorations. There are many versions to the story of how it began, but the result is that every December over 600,000 people come there to see the lights. The lights, over 450,000 colorful bulbs, decorate about 375 trees in different patterns. It's not Christmas without a trip to McAdenville, or as it is known at this time of year Christmas Town USA.

Buff's grandsons, Zach, Set, Bryson and Lennie have managed the business since his death at age 68. Shadyside began in1958 with Marshall and Travis Hamrick and is located in Shelby.
