Circle of Lights coming to life
Indianapolis, Nov. 23 - Something's in the air. They're putting out the candy canes, cranking the bolts and tying the red ribbons.
And some of Santa's helpers are already on the scene, Monument Circle. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument is ready.
And with a flip of the switch the city will officially kickoff the holiday season with the Circle of Lights Celebration this Friday.
This 42-year holiday tradition is a labor of love and a lot of illumination.
Tom O'Donnell with the IBEW union says, "We put up 52 strands of lights, there's 4,784 lights total and it's 285 feet tall."
Nancy Fields gives a hint of some of the local acts to entertain the more than 100,000 people expected on the Circle. "We have seven fantastic talents and we did an audition this year for all the local talent. We have the choice bands, Jenny Spillman" and a national showman.
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Conductor Jack Everly says the show will include "The former singing New York policeman. Daniel Rodriquez will be the star of the First Indiana Bank Yuletide Celebration for 27 performances."
Local carolers are getting us in the holiday spirit.
It truly comes to life on Friday.
Everything is in place at the Circle of Lights.
The Circle of Lights starts at six p.m. at Monument Circle.
Daniel Rodriquez hosts the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's annual holiday extravaganza December 3 thorugh 23 at the Hilbert Circle Theatre.
