Bahnsens keep Santa House alive in Coralville winters
In Coralville Dave and Roxanne Bahnsen at 1489 Valley View Dr keep a popular holiday display with 100 plus Santas and three model trains. Despite energy costs and a windstorm, the pair say the display grows each year and connects them with the community. Local visitors return, some years bringing new couples, and a deer crossing sign with a flashing red nose draws attention during luminaria tours.
