ARS-WUSA Winter Wonderland Draws Thousands
Glendale, CA - Nearly 6,000 children, parents, and visitors gathered
at the Armenian Relief Society of Western USA's (ARS-WUSA) Winter
Wonderland on January 14-15, 2012, at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic
Church in Glendale, CA.
The main draw of the two-day event was the snow area, which featured a
slide and play space for children. Hundreds waited in line to
experience the wonder of snow in Glendale! Several carnival-style
attractions, including a Ferris Wheel and Super Slide, also offered
great fun for enthusiasts. The venue came alive with children running
from one ride to another in anticipation of their next thrill-seeking
experience.
"I can't wait to play in there!" exclaimed Arek, 5, and the sentiment
was clearly the same for all the children, whose eyes appeared to
gleam with excitement.
People also gathered indoors where children's game booths and vendors
lined the church hall. Onlookers delighted in the wide variety of
festival foods served by volunteers as song and dance performances
offered ongoing entertainment.
Reflecting on the event, Dr. Nyree Derderian, Regional Executive
Chairperson, remarked "Once again, the ARS turned its attention to the
younger generation and succeeded by introducing the ARS in a different
way to the public."
Erebouni Dance Group, Holy Cross Armenian Church Dance Group
(Montebello), Krounk Dance Studio, and Kilikia Art Studio participated
in the dance portion of the program. Song performances were performed
by Gevorg Chakmanyan, Varuhi Shahinian, Roberta and Alla Arevyan,
Sarkis Tamazyan and Vahe Gharibyan of Hamazkayin's Barouir Sevag
Chapter's "Daron" choir, and the Ararat Charter School choir.
Volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this event,
which was the first of its kind for the ARS-WUSA. Proceeds from Winter
Wonderland will go to the ARS-WUSA's ongoing local and international
programs benefiting individuals and communities most in need.
