Foster Children Experience the Holidays at Winter Wonderland
Children run around and play on Winter Wonderland’s jungle gym and other activities during the special day for foster children and families on December 15th.
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (1888PressRelease) December 21, 2018 - On December 15th, the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization and Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) held a special event at Downtown Clearwater’s Winter Wonderland for foster children and families. The over 230 guests enjoyed the usual Winter Wonderland activities with a special present giveaway. Winter Wonderland is located at Osceola Courtyard on the corner of N. Fort Harrison Ave. and Drew Street.
Winter Wonderland is a winter-themed village with over 100,000 lights covering the nearly 100 live Christmas trees, buildings and stage. Winter Wonderland is open three weeks each year for the Holiday Season in Downtown Clearwater.
The children participated in the many activities including, arts and crafts with Mrs. Claus, pictures with Santa and his elves, pet baby animals, ride ponies and the Winter Wonderland train, slide down the 20-foot slide, jump in Winter Wonderland’s bouncy house and take a spin on the human gyroscope.
“This is a very important annual event for us,” said Ms. Clemence Chevrot, Director of the Clearwater Community Volunteers Center. “Every child should have a holiday season to enjoy and remember. In L. Ron Hubbard’s book The Way to Happiness, he wrote, ‘today’s children will become tomorrow’s civilization.’”
Outside of this special event, Winter Wonderland will be open every day from 6pm to 9pm through December 22nd, except on Mondays and Tuesdays. Admission is free but there is a small charge for some activities and the food items in the Hot Chocolate Shop (cash-only transactions).
