Light Up The Night
Isle of Skye Productions takes an active role in
the community to co ordinate as well as sponsor special events.
The special events area of the Isle of Skye Productions portfolio
began when singer/songwriter Robin Moir was asked to co ordinate
talent for CBC television's CHEO telethon and subsequently the
Heart Institute Telethon in the early 1990's. Through her many
music industry contacts Robin was able to help create television
specials with tremendous Canadian talent on board; talent like
Alanis, Wayne Rostad, The Five Man Electrical Band, Rich Little
and many more.
For the past ten years Robin has worked with host
Wayne Rostad and a committed team to put together an enchanting
Christmas concert
held outdoors on the main street of Almonte, Ontario called … Light
Up The Night. Traditionally held on the first Friday in December,
Light Up The Night draws more than 7000 people from all across
the Ottawa Valley
to ring in the Christmas season. The town of Mississippi Mills
and local area merchants are always solidly behind this annual
event…and light up the stores all along the street.
Wayne's
continued support of the event has led to its phenomenal success
throughout the area. This past year was no exception …in
spite of severe weather during the day, the Christmas Spirit could
not be denied, and Light Up The Night was as Christmassy as ever!
Host Wayne Rostad was joined by his wife, CTV host,
Leanne Cusack and together they welcomed Voices of Praise, The
Bowes Brothers,
Alex Ryder, Lauren Hall, Braiden Turner and the Almonte Music Academy
Youth Choir …and of course the Twinkle Fairies who with a
wave of their wands …brought Santa and Mrs. Claus down to
the Light Up The Night stage!
Join us this year in Almonte, Ontario – December
the 7th at 7:00 PM for:
Light Up the Night with Wayne Rostad and Friends!
