❄️☕ Tuesday`s Hot Chocolate Holiday Party at Nafasi on Centre was a great time! Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
Families came through for Toys for Tots gifts, kids took part in activities from Citizen Science Lab, and Tanya’s Catering had plates filled and people smiling.
The community sang carols and holiday favorites, including the new smash hit "Twelve Days of Christmas on the Hill". Vendors brought offerings that people were excited to take home. The fancy hot chocolate bar stayed busy the entire afternoon. It felt good to be together on the Hill! ❤️
Special thanks to Santa Claus for making an appearance. We know you`re busy this time of year!
