“The last few years, we felt that we’ve finally gotten to a place where we could actually make it on the tour, so actually being on the list this year was a rush of excitement for us both, I think," said Ashley Willis of their home, a first-time participant in the Tacky Lights Tour. "Overall, it’s a lot of work, but a lot of fun. I love that my husband wants to do it, and I know his dad is proud. The bonus to it all is having other people get to enjoy it now, too."
