Show November 26, 1999 The Summit County Bee Page A7 Tuacahns First Festival of Light's Will Feature 250,00 Lights Some nights at Tkiacahn are so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face," says Tuacahn CEO Kevin Smith, who is preparing for the arts center's upcoming Festival of Lights. In that kind of darkness, a single lamp can light up the entire canyon." Tuacuhn's Festival of Lights promises a whole lot mote than just one lamp. We're creating something that will eventually become the largest lighting display in lllah and one of the largest in the United States," Smith says confidently. Even this first year, our magnificent red rock cliff backdrop will provide the perfect setting' for one of the finest holiday displays you'll find anywhere in the world." Tuacuhn's first Festival of Ughls ' will include 250,(XX) individual lights that will illuminate trees, the buildings, and other fixtures in Tuacahn's campus. In contrast, there are 750,Q(X) lights at Salt Lake Citys Temple Square, which is seen by almost one million visitors annually. "Were not there yet." Smith admits, but that's where we're headed." Smith estimates the: up to 40,Q(X) people will attend this first year andthat, in future seasons, the numbers will grow far beyond that. "We're trying to provide something that will be a lasting treasure to our community," says Ttiacahn Artistic Director Jim Bennett. The Festival of Lights is a key element in expanding the positive impact that Tuacahn can have on the lives of the people of Ivins and beyond." In addition to holiday lights, the Festival will include live performances, a nativity scene, several holiday tableaus and possibly an ice skating rink. The amphitheater will also feature an automated sound and lighting Christmas presentation. Santa Claus, brought to life by Ivins resident Don Martindale, will also make several appearances Recorded music will also be used to enhance the live performances at the Festival. Music will he the centerpiece of the Festival," says Brian Producer at Larson, Assistant Tuacahn. Choirs, bands, individual singers and dancers will make this a holiday season to remember." The Festival of Lights is being made possible by a grant from the City of Ivins, which is acting as the sole sponsor of the event. W'iihoul the City of Ivins, the level of excellence we're aiming for may not have been possible at all." says Bennett. It certainly wouldn't have been possible this first year." The support of the City of Ivins ensures that this event will be memorable but it does even more than that," adds Smith.
