After a year without a children’s Christmas Party, Seven Lakes West saw its holiday magic return thanks to Tracy Gash and a band of merry volunteers determined to bring Seven Lakes children a moment of wonder. With a planning team of 10, 20 extra pairs of hands, over 222 RSVPs, one Grinch, imaginations running wild, and a spark and a sprinkle, Whoville suddenly appeared at the Community Center. The Grinchmas Whobilation Children’s Christmas Party on Dec. 14 delivered incredible fun with a dance cave, playful decorations, fun crafts, delicious treats, a visit from Santa and a Grinch (Amanda Fraser) who danced, scolded and stole every heart in the room. The Mayor of Whoville (Bob Bruzina) led story time with his wife, Holly Bruzina by his side and appropriately styled in Who-fashion. An elf (Zoey Waller) was on hand to manage Santa’s many fans. The planning team led by Gash included Danielle Braghirol, Hollie Duplessis, Nikki Hendricks, Jennifer Lewis, Lauren Riehl, and Jadie Waller. The memories will last long after the leftover Who-Hash has been eaten. MAGGIE BEAMGUARD / THE SEVEN LAKES INSIDER
