The Nutcracker! It’s about the only time when we’re excited to see a rat king. Take a look at some of these behind the scenes photos and get in the mood. Performances continue through December 26th, so there’s still time to see the spectacle first hand.

PHOTOS: The Virginia Derby

Last Saturday was the 14th running of the $600,000 Virginia Derby, held annually at Colonial Downs. 12 horses raced the Derby’s 1-1/4 mile track. Thousands of racing fans were on hand to watch the several races that day, take part in festivities, and to witness the winning horse, Air Support, take this year’s Derby title. Several of these fans adorned some, um…interesting headwear.
