For the past four years The Lone Star Holidays Academy has set a standard of excellence for holiday events. Every year the Academy runs for multiple days of learning, socializing, sharing, and growing. With over 20 classes held in multiple rooms, every attendee has the opportunity to enhance their holiday knowledge, regardless of experience level.
So how do we improve on things? We could just continue to have our event, focused on the local members in Lone Star Holidays, and have plenty of fun. Fortunately, that’s not our style!
In 2012 the Academy is going to the next level… the ultimate level! Lone Star Holidays is partnering with several of the recognized experts in various aspects of our shared hobby. These additions will make the Academy the ultrashow of 2012.

As always, Lone Star Holidays will be creating classes that will help you develop your skills and give you new ideas for your holiday festivities. The “Christmas Classics” contain sessions from beginner to advanced level of decorating. Some facvorites will be back this year and some new topics with unique twists will be there to inspire you.
The team from from DIY Light Animation is heading up the “DIY Universe”, which covers all of the aspects of DIY in your holiday displays. “I am very excited to be partnering with Lone Star Holidays to expand an already great event to include everything you could ever imagine wanting to know about DIY!” says RJ, owner of DIY Light Animation. “I believe this will allow (attendees) to learn anything A to Z about holiday decorating from one event. With the different groups working together I believe this will be the most talked about get together next year!”
We have created a new set of classes pertaining to the details of Halloween. We call them our “Scare Sessions“. Eric Kristinsan, the founder of the Dallas/Fort Worth Friends of Halloween is working with the Lone Star Holidays Halloween Development Committee to craft some fantastic learnings for everyone who wants to build a haunt and celebrate this unique holiday.
In addition, we will be holding several other classes: we’ll cover the many aspects of becoming Santa in our ”Claus Curriculum” sessions, developing the best fireworks show possible in our “Pyro Workshop”, and learning about many software solutions available to holiday fanatics.
One of those software trainings will be a first for the Academy: the “S3 Experience“. This is an all-day add on for attendees (there is an additional cost so be sure to check the details on the S3 page) that will delve into the features of the new Light-O-Rama S3 software suite and how to make your sequencing better and faster. Drew Hickman of Holiday Technolgies will be teaching this session and there is no better person to take you into S3 and beyond!
“It is my belief that we shall have one of the best events in the decorating community,” Jack Mayes, the President of Lone Star Holidays recently said. ”I hope that you can feel the excitement that we are currently generating, because this will be one of the most talked about events for some time to come.”
The Academy always has a theme and 2012 is our Olympic Academy (2012 is an Olympic year so it’s either now or in 2016!). The Olympic motto is “Citius, Altius, Fortius” which is Latin for “Swifter, Higher, Stronger”. How appropriate is it that two of the largest holiday decorating groups come together to create an amazing event that will fulfill that motto in every sense of the word?
We can’t say it any better than that: Citius, Altius, Fortius.
