A Grand Illumination.

The Grand Illumination at the James Center is a tradition that's been going on in Richmond for 25 years now. I happen to be lucky enough to work there, so I get to play with the deer day and night. However, I'd never attended the illumination because something always conflicted in the schedules. So this year we decided we just need to do it at least once.

Before.

After.

Somehow, Vlasic was apart of the grand affair, so I decided to take the oppotunity to pose with the Vlasic guy (bird? stork? what the heck is he?) and, well his pickle. It's a Vlasic!
