You know the holiday season has arrived in full force when our beloved local charity Opportunity Village turns on the lights to open its Magical Forest. This year, Monte Carlo headliner Chris Phillips, one half of Zowie Bowie with fiancee Marley Taylor, did the honors at the 18th annual festivities on Saturday night.
Joined by the Champagne Creative Group Showgirls, they kicked off the holiday season with the tree lighting ceremony and judged a gingerbread house contest. More than 1 million lights decorate the incredible displays, train rides and carousels in the Magical Forest.

To mark Santa’s arrival by sleigh with his elves this year, there’s even a new Santa Slide attraction. This is Opportunity Village’s largest annual fundraising event, and they hope to generate more than $1 million for the disabled adults they care for before the holiday season ends Jan. 2.
