The event included dinner, cupcake decorating, making holilday cards and a visit from Santa. Sydnee Hurst, one of the organizers, said she helped put the event together "because there is a real need for more kids' events and events availalble to everyone in the valley." Nearly 200 adults and children were expected at Monday night's event. The event was made possible through volunteer help community donations, said Hurst. (GORDON KING/Yakima Herald-Republic)
