C'mon, grab my ball, I dare you.

More lights shine eerily through snow.
On the day after Thanksgiving, Cameron and Tara invited us to go with them and with Tara's parents (Mike and Jackie) to Christmas lighting festivities at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
Besides turning on the Christmas lighting display, there was a concert at the Gallivan Center hosted by Channel 2's news anchors.
The headlining performer for the concert at the Gallivan Center was Kurt Bestor--here surrounded by hired band members.
The lights finally came on.
George Zinn, a friend of mine since high school, was in attendance. George is the "Where's Waldo" of Salt Lake City. He makes a point of going to everything: movie premieres, press conferences, political events, ball games, all kinds of opening nights. If it is an event covered by radio, TV, newspapers, or popular bloggers; just have a look around, George is probably there.
After the Gallivan Center event, we all rode trax to the Gateway Mall for more Christmas lights and concert performances.

The headlining performer at the Gateway was pianist Jon Schmidt. 
Jon is a great pianist and composer. He enjoys performing visual tricks to keep children engaged.
Waiting between performers at the Gateway. Looks exciting, doesn't it?
