California Lighting Up for Holidays
On the day after Thanksgiving (Nov.24.2017) the Mission Inn in Riverside flicks the switch on 5 million lights that decorate the historic inn during the holidays. This year Duane and Kelly Roberts, who bring this gift to the community, announced a special guest performance by Kenny Loggins at 4:30 p.m. to watch the fireworks show. Bus loads of people from around the state come to see the free, annual display nightly through Jan.6, 2018. The couple has added a line of commemorative merchandise visitors this year can browse and buy.
