Fun fact! Displays from individuals or community groups used to be allowed inside the Capitol via a simple permitting process. However, in the early-mud 2000s a bit of a winter holiday display war began inside the building, with multiple groups requesting permits for different holiday displays and people complaining. At that point they decided that it was too much and now displays can only done on the grounds, which is why these are on the lawn.

I get a kick out of the entire thing.
