A little update on Doironville… ❤️ Please Share ( SORRY LONG POST )
I wanted to give everyone an update after what happened with all of our extension cords, power supplies being taken. I’ll be honest, when it first happened it was pretty discouraging.
But what happened over the next couple of days after was absolutely incredible. The amount of people who reached out wanting to help honestly blew me away. People offered extension cords, lights, materials, their time, money and pretty much anything they thought we might need. Some were friends and customers, and some were people we hardly knew. There were so many messages, calls and comments that I couldn’t possibly respond properly to every one of them, but please know how much it meant to me and to all of us.
More than anything, it gave us the energy to keep going. It reminded me that Doironville has become a lot more than something we put together in our yard every Christmas. It means something to people. Families make it part of their Christmas tradition, kids get excited to see the lights, and people drive by just to get a little bit of that Christmas feeling. Hearing from so many people who wanted to make sure it continued really put things into perspective for me.
But what happened the very next morning is something I don’t think I’ll ever forget.. at 8:30 AM, Adam Burley walked through the door. There wasn’t a big conversation about it and there really wasn’t much of a choice being given to me. Adam basically told me, “You’re not going to say no. We’re going to make this right.” And he meant it....
Then Joe and Krista and the crew from Leading Edge Electric reached out...
Before I knew it, they had a crew here and these guys absolutely went above and beyond anything I ever could have expected. What they did for us was incredible. They donated their time, showed up and went to work getting us back up and running. But they didn’t just come in and put a Band-Aid on the problem or simply replace what had been taken. They looked at everything and figured out how they could make it better than it was before. The work they did is going to make Doironville safer, easier to set up, easier to operate and better for years to come. They took a situation that had us feeling pretty defeated and completely turned it around.
And then there’s Shawn and the team at Graybar Canada… what can I even say!! These guys stepped up and donated ALL of the supplies and materials needed to make this happen. Absolutely unreal. Again, nobody asked them to do this. There was nothing in it for them. They simply heard what happened, saw an opportunity to help and stepped up in a huge way.
When you combine Graybar donating all of the materials with Adam, Joe donating their time and doing all of the work, it’s honestly hard to put into words what these guys have done for us.
Shawn and everyone at Graybar Canada — THANK YOU!!! What you did was incredibly generous, and it means so much more to us than just the materials you donated. You helped turn a really crappy situation into something positive, and you helped make sure Doironville can keep going.
What can I say… absolutely unreal. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
And I really want to make this part clear because I think it says a lot about the kind of people they are. These guys didn’t do this for pictures. They didn’t do it for a Facebook post, recognition or glory. They weren’t looking to get their names out there or expecting anything in return. They just knew somebody needed some help, showed up and helped. Simple as that. Just really good people doing something good for somebody else and for their community. In a world where sometimes it feels like we hear way too much about the bad stuff, I think people deserve to hear about people like this too.
That’s probably the coolest part of this whole thing. Somebody did something that could have taken a lot of the excitement out of this for us, but instead our community turned it completely around. Instead of us talking about what was taken, now we’re talking about all the people who stepped up. That’s the part of this story that I want to remember.
Doironville was never really about extension cords or how many Christmas lights we could fit in the yard anyway. It’s about families driving by together, kids looking out the windows, people stopping for pictures, Christmas music playing and hopefully giving somebody a reason to smile. It’s about creating a little bit of Christmas magic and sharing it with our community.
So yes… DOIRONVILLE 2026 IS HAPPENING!
We are already starting to plan things out, and once Remembrance Day has passed, we’ll start getting everything set up. And because of what these guys have done for us, I think setting up Doironville this year is going to feel a little different. Every time we plug something in, there will be a pretty great reminder of the people who stepped up when they absolutely didn’t have to.
To Adam Burley and his crew, Joe and Krista and your crew, Sean and Graybar Canada, and every single person who called, messaged, offered something, shared our post or simply told us to keep going Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Someone may have taken some cords and Christmas lights, but what happened afterward gave us something a whole lot more valuable. It reminded us just how many great people there are in this community.
We’re coming back. And maybe just a little bigger and better than before.
