It is an exhibit of Christmas lights. But what else can you experience during this “Christmas Lights on the Farm”?
Get to experience a hayride through an old country town. It has also been decorated for Christmas and is offered to farm visitors. After the hayride, you're not done.

Let’s start with the first one.
It's like having dessert for breakfast during the Hayride & Dinner! It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's wonderful!
Even by itself, the hayride is captivating. It brings you back to simpler times to sit on bales as a horse pulls the cart. Additionally, it gives you the impression that lovely lights surround you. And sort of in a magical world! Even though the Hayride only lasts for 30 minutes, people come from all over to take it. Some people even consider it to be a family tradition. Once a year, dessert for breakfast. When the 30-minute hayride begins, you get to experience:
No one leaves Mike's Farm without a little bit of magic, dinner tickets also include access to the hayride. You don't need to make a reservation for the actual hayride. The dinner does, regrettably, call for one. Get your ticket soon! They do sell out quickly! Visit this vintage-themed Christmas at 1600 Haw Branch Road in Beulaville, North Carolina.
Comedy and holiday music are combined in The Ho! Ho! Christmas Show. Then it transforms it into a joyful variety show.
All-you-can-eat dinners in the buffet style are a specialty of Mike's Farm. Therefore, it was inevitable that this event would begin that way! The main event comes after a delicious dinner.
The Christmas Ho! Ho! Show! You are positioned in a cozy area to enjoy the main event for the following hour. You can take a magical hayride after the main event. Don't worry; it is already included in your ticket price. For information on times, dates, and prices, don't forget to check out their page.

Roy D. Johnson, the originator of "The Meadow Lights," started adorning his home and yard. This was for his children to enjoy. This was the start of "The Meadow Lights," more than 50 years ago. This occurred in 1969!
Each year, he increased the decoration a little more than the year before. Soon, other residents of the area joined in on the excitement of the lights. As the lights grew, so did the number of visitors who came to see them. Since then, the lights have grown from a small yard to covering over 30 acres. The event is now annually attended by thousands of people from all over the state. The Meadow Lights is the largest and most established holiday light show in Eastern NC. More than 10 acres of the exhibit are covered by a train ride!

After getting accepted to ECU, I started looking for things to do in and around Greenville, NC. However, my searches kept taking me to places in South Carolina! There must be things to do around ECU, so I started asking other students. They kept telling me to graduate and move away! This inspired me to begin exploring eastern North Carolina and build this website as a showcase of the places to go, sights to see, and things to do all over eastern NC. I have fallen in love with this region and started taking up roots here. After graduating, I didn't move away - I bought a house here and continue to explore eastern North Carolina.
