Drone light show returns to Wilson County for second year. When and where to watch
A drone light show will return to Wilson County for the second consecutive year, several days after being postponed for weather. Firefly Drone Shows will conduct the display starting at 8:45 p.m., May 31, said Tom Needham of Needham's Nursery & Hemp Farm in Mt. Juliet. Needham hopes to make the drone show in Mt. Juliet a "tradition," and hold it yearly. Viewing this year will be available at First Baptist Church Mt. Juliet at 735 N. Mt. Juliet Road, Needham said. There is also a facilities use agreement to park and watch the show at the West Wilson Middle and Stoner Creek Elementary school parking lots, Wilson County Schools spokesperson Bart Barker said. The drone show was scheduled for Memorial Day, but was rescheduled with rain in the forecast that day. About 200 drones will be used for the display. The theme will be patriotic, in keeping with Memorial Day, with other "fun" and "recognizable" drone images, Firefly Drone Shows lead producer Matthew Sanker said. Detroit-based Firefly does more than 200 shows a year, according to Sanker. Needham, who is transitioning ownership of Needham's Nursery on Lebanon Road in Mt. Juliet to his daughter and son-in-law, is also known for heading up the city's fireworks display for many years. Reach Andy Humbles at ahumbles@ and on X, formerly known as Twitter @ AndyHumbles.
