The free event will be held Saturday, Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Forest Audelia Village shopping center, 9759 Forest Lane.

Children will enjoy face painting, balloon twisting, train rides, a bounce house and live music with DJ Amigo. In & Out Burger will provide free lunches, and Dallasthenics will lead the crowd in a fun workout.

If you’d like to help, Vicky Taylor at the PID is seeking 25 more volunteers, and she needs more donations of toys and gift cards for children in our community who might go without this Christmas. Email lhpidpublicsafety@gmail.com to pitch in.
