Sundial Spectacular!

Hello everyone, and thanks again for visiting “Blogging About Redding”. As most of you already know, we are in October which means “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. On Thursday the 15th was a day where many cities and communities came together on behalf of Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day, and Redding, CA wasn’t the exception! Besides the many activities that were happening around town that day, the biggest and most visible was on our very own Sundial Bridge. Check out this video! From www.redding.com: Hundreds of people strolled the Sundial Bridge tonight to see the Redding landmark bathed in a pinkish glow for Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day. “It’s pretty cool. It’s totally different,” Redding resident and Shasta Photo Club member Aaron Patterson said after lugging his camera equipment from the bank of the Sacramento River. Patterson and many others brought their cameras to take pictures of the Sundial Bridge, which was illuminated in pink for breast-cancer awareness. The outline of a pink ribbon gleamed on one side of the bridge. Morpheus Lighting of Redding had placed gel filters over the bridge’s lights to give the span its special hue. The pink lights were due to be turned off at 10 p.m. Earlier today, Nor-Cal Think Pink organizers distributed about 40,000 bags containing breast cancer information and handed out pink carnations throughout the north state to bring attention to their cause, Think Pink coordinator Erika Wiechman said.
