SPRING LAKE, Mich. (WZZM) - A Spring Lake homeowner wants to shut down his neighborhood's popular Christmas lights display, but the organizer of the event isn't backing down.

Brad Boyink started the "Holiday Road" Christmas synchronized light show five years ago. As the event gained in popularity, he managed to convince every house on Heather Court in Sprink Lake to take part. An estimated 70,000 people visit the display each year, but one homeowner on Heather Court wants to take Brad Boyink - to court.

"They feel the show is a nuisance," says Boyink, speaking about the lone house which decided not to participate this year.

Boyink adds that the lone neighbor has a list of reasons for not participating.

"It creates congestion in the neighborhood; it doesn't belong here; it's an inconvenience to them [the non-participating neighbor]; and they just don't want to see it here," says Boyink.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM)- Volunteers with the Lakeshore chapter of Toys For Tots hope teamwork helps bring in toy donations this weekend.

The annual toy donation event is once again teaming up with members of Coast Guard Group Grand Haven.  Friday members of the two groups collected toy donations near U.S. 31 and Jackson Street on the city's North end.  Members of the Coast Guard brought with them a 25-foot rescue boat. 

Friday and Saturday community members are encouraged to drop by and help stuff the rescue boat with unwrapped toys.  On Friday the group will be outside the Starbucks Coffee until 7 p.m..  On Saturday toys can be brought to the same location from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Last year a similar effort brought in more than 600 toys for Toys For Tots.  Bill Peak with the agency says the request for help from Lakeshore families has increased this year.
