SARASOTA, Fla. - A holiday light show in Sarasota is stopping people in their tracks. A local company spent thousands of hours dreaming up how hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights would dance with the music, pushing the limits of technology and imagination. We kind of trick you into thinking it s just normal white Christmas lights, said Justin Stancil, owner and CEO of Stancil Entertainment.
But as it gets close to 6:30 p.m., you can feel the anticipation building. When the show starts, it s anything but a white Christmas.
