The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a progressive heavy metal Rock Concert that is absolutely breathtaking and mesmerizing. There are millions of lasers, lights, flames and stunning videos on the stage, all telling a story.   http://www.trans-siberian.com/  

 

In 1996 Paul O’Neil founded the rock opera band and formed a writing team with Robert Kinkel and Jon Olivia. With more than 7 million albums sold, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is one of the world’s top acts. The pyrotechnics is dazzling and impressive.

 

 

There were lifts in the back of the arena and two of the musicians were lifted up and they performed in midair as the entire arena was filled with fantastic lights. The show was 2.5 hours and the energy and music was spectacular and it could have gone on longer. I loved the Rock Concert and I will go to see them again when they are back in Las Vegas.

Glittering lights is the largest drive through with millions of Led lights and hundreds of light displays. The light show is along a 2.5 mile course at the motor speedway and features the Avenue of Trees, the Princess Fairy World and the Living Nativity. Melanie and Zack of 106.5 KSNE Radio hosted the lighting of the Glittering Lights and one young guest assisted in turning on the lights.

The singing group Mo8aic entertained the V.I.P.’s, guest’s and media. The children attending the light festival were in awe of the very talented Mo8aic group and their faces lit up on their smiling faces.

 

 

Carrabba’s Italian Grill came early and set up the grills and served delicious food to everyone. Also distributing food to the hungry attendees was Popped Gourmet Popcorn, B Sweet Candy Boutique and Bad Ass Coffee van.

It is a time of the year when we bring back the magic of Christmas and look upon the faces of the children as they walk into the Magical Forest in Opportunity Village. They are the faces of innocence and joy and pure happiness as they wander through out the Magical Forest.

Millions of bright lights adorn the trees and Christmas displays throughout the 2 acres of Opportunity Village. Twinkling brightly is Cinderella carriage that creates a winter wonderland of fantasies and a favorite of mine.

 

You can take a ride on the Forest Express Passenger Train and enjoy the decorations as the train takes you into the forest where you are up front and personal with the displays.

 Towering over the children were the Giant Polar Bears and a toy Soldier and another favorite was Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. 

 

 

The Magical Forest with be open until January 6, 2014, hours 5:30 pm- 9:00 pm and is located at 6300 W Oakey Blvd.
