Sugar Plum Ball and Galactic Gala Held at the Fox Hollow Inn to Benefit CP Nassau
On Sunday, December 10th, the Fox Hollow in Woodbury was the scene of dozens of young ladies in party dresses perfect for the holiday season, and lots of boys ready to greet a parade of characters from a galaxy far, far, away! At the second annual Sugar Plum Ball and Galactic Gala the fun started at noon and went non-stop till 4 pm!
The kids there, along with their dads, moms or other family members were all smiles as they danced the afternoon away with the Sugar Plum Fairies, got to chat with Barbie and Jessie from Toy Story, met and mingled with a host of Star Wars characters, enjoyed a magic show, experienced Jedi training, enjoyed face-painting, maybe had a caricature done by the Creativity Zone and then a sing-along with Anna and Kristoff from Frozen!
The sit-down lunch was delicious and gave all a chance to take a break from all the activity for a while. Guests old and young made their own ice-cream sundae shortly after and then got on the cotton candy line for some freshly spun sugar! There were some very happy winners of a great selection of raffle prizes and each young guest went home with an adorable Squishmallow to call their very own!
