The holidays are over and it's the new year in the the city of Sacramento. To start the year off right, there are many fun and exciting events to enjoy. As always Sacramento has things going on for singles, couples and families as well. Like the I Hate Children Children's Show that is happening January 10th at Laughs Unlimited, where both you and the entire family will enjoy some laughs and according to sacramento365.com "Magician Paul Nathan, winner of Best Children's Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, combines dry humor with tricks that keep kids entranced and parents smiling." Sounds like a winner to me! Now, for something that everyone with or without children can rave about... The Shen Yun Performing Arts! Now I have seen the ads, billboards and commercials for this event but haven't had the pleasure of attending one. However, I have heard that it is spectacular! And once again, according to sacramento365.com, "Shen Yun takes you on an extraordinary journey to the lost land of the ancient Middle Kingdom." Very intriguing! This event will take place January 13th and 14th at the Community Center Theater.

Let the countdown to 2015 begin! December has arrived in the City of Anaheim.
