Smiles All Around at CT Forum's 18th Annual Hartford Children's Holiday Party

What a day!

Some very happy children holding special gifts and photos with Santa!

The Hartford Marriott Downtown was the place to be yesterday! 
A fantastic group of people - including 300 Hartford elementary school students, 100 CT YOUTH Forum elves, 33 sponsoring organizations, numerous volunteers and one great big Santa Claus - made this our best Children's Holiday party yet!

"Is it really you, Santa Claus?"

This lucky child guessed the correct number of candies in the jar...
and took home the jackpot!

Frosty the Snowman and Rudolf helped make this a day to remember!

"Who's ready to go see Santa Claus?"

Sincere thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and sponsors, especially Target Stores and the Hartford Marriott Downtown for making this great event possible.
