‘NUTS!’: Xmas fan’s message to HOA

When Jeremy Morris learned last month that his Hayden homeowners association may file a lawsuit to block his planned Christmas extravaganza, he fired back a one-word response: “Nuts!” Last year, Morris and his wife, Kristy, hosted a Christmas light show with carolers, Santa and Dolly the camel at their home inside the Hayden city limits. This year, the couple purchased a home on Ferndale Drive in the West Hayden Estates subdivision and plan to host a bigger and better event at the more rural location. Last year’s event drew thousands of people after it was publicized on Facebook. Morris, an attorney, is dismissive of the four-page registered letter he received from an attorney representing the homeowners association. He said his event will not violate any association covenants and he doesn’t need to get a special-events permit from Kootenai County. “We’ve consulted with the county,” he said. “Their legal team has given us a written response. We don’t require a permit”/ Nina Culver , SR. More here.

Question: We’ve already discussed this at length. Any other thoughts?
