This Saturday our family was able to continue our tradition of attending the Inland Pacific Ballet’s yearly performance of The Nutcracker. Although it was was different from years past, the magic of the show was still alive. We arrived at the Fairplex in Pomona to a warm holiday greeting from the Grinch, who directed us to a magnificent set up of a large screen that could be seen from wherever you parked and wide open space to watch the show. Inland Pacific Ballet had prerecorded the performance and the entirety of The Nutcracker was played on the large screen. We were able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Inland Pacific Ballet’s countless hours of dedication from the comfort of our own vehicle. It was such a fun activity to do with the family safely from the car.
