Winn Transportation partners every year with Frank Hudak. You might know Frank by his real name "Mr. Christmas" and Frank’s home is known in Richmond for well over a quarter century as “The Christmas House,” with four miles of holiday wiring. Visitors will find 70,000 lights in the display for a total of over 40,000 watts in his Wistar Court cul-de-sac. Many items such as the stable, guardhouse, church, candy canes and multi-colored star are created in the Hudak’s own workshop.
An organization that is near and dear to Frank’s heart is the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls
and this year we again honor Frank by donating a portion of our Tacky Light Tour proceeds this year to them. We are lucky to be able to call Mr. Christmas our friend and we look forward to many more years of succesful partnership in Richmond’s Christmas bounty known world-wide as the Tacky Light Tour Capital of the World!
