Meet Greg and Mary Hormann

Greg and Mary became friends in high school at Wawasee High School in Syracuse, IN. Both separately decided to attend Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Greg and Mary began dating during their freshman year, and both ended up moving to Cincinnati after college. On November 4, 2000 — exactly 6 years from their first date — the couple were wed at All Saints Catholic Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Christmas Display

Both of us are big on Christmas. Mary likes the shopping and interior decorating, and Greg is big on outside Christmas displays. In 2001, Greg started experimenting with animated displays controlled by a computer. Twenty-five years later, we have over 75,000 lights synchronized to 73 minutes of music leveraging xLights, FPP, and pixels controlled by E1.31. If you are curious about the history of our display, we've captured our story which is also summarized in a 2021 on stage presentation.
