Anne Arundel Medical Center's annual holiday light show, "Lights on the Bay," will open to the public Nov. 21 and continue through Jan. 4, 2009 at Sandy Point State Park, 1100 E. College Parkway. The show features almost 70 animated and stationary displays, three lighted tunnels, and perimeter and architectural lighting along a two mile drive through the park. A number of displays are unique to the area, such as the Colonial Village modeled after historic Annapolis and the display of Midshipman tossing their hats in the air. This year the show has two new lighting themes: a North Pole Penguin Village and an Under the Sea Adventure. Each night children can participate in a scavenger hunt by looking for items in the show and answering display-related questions. A drawing for prizes will be held, and 3-D glasses can be purchased for $3 to view some displays in three dimensions. Admission is $14 per car, $28 per minibus or trolley, and $50 for a coach bus. Coupons, available at Graul's Markets, Anne Arundel County Public Libraries, and in the Annapolis Pennysaver, offer a $4 discount on weekdays. All proceeds benefit the medical center.
