“Hansel and Gretel” house event coming to YWCA

Kids of all ages are invited for a sweet afternoon of building holiday houses from graham crackers, super-stiff icing, and lots of fun candy at the YWCA on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

The cost of this holiday tradition is $5 plus one non-perishable food item per child to share with the YWCA domestic violence shelter. Space is limited, so registration is required.

Parents can sign up their child for 45-minute slots at 2:30, 3:30 or 4:30 p.m. by calling the YWCA at 509-525-2570. For children 5 and younger, an adult is kindly asked to stay for the duration of the event.

The YWCA will provide plates, graham crackers, and lots of decorative treats for kids to build with. And after your children have completed their creations, you can leave the sticky mess for us! Best of all, since the food collected from “Hansel and Gretel” goes to our shelter, the afternoon offers a fun way to remind children about the importance of sharing and caring during the holiday season.

YWCA Walla Walla is located at 213 S. First Ave.
