PHOTO CAPTION: Family-friendly fun at the New Year\u2019s festival at the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles included a snow slide made of real snow.<\/em><\/p>\n
The Church welcomed 2022 with a marketplace of local vendors, carnival games, and a snow slide made of real snow.<\/p>\n
Kids laughed and screamed as they coasted down the 20-foot snow slide \u2014 for many, it was the first time they\u2019d ever seen real snow. Or they romped in the nearby snow-filled play area. Others played carnival games, took a twirl around the kid-sized ice-skating rink, patiently waited as stylists painted their faces, or watched as an artist crafted their favorite animal from balloons.<\/p>\n
All the while, a trackless choo-choo train toured families up and down the street that was filled with food trucks, vendor booths from local stores and shops, and a community corner with tables for local nonprofits. The train wove its way down L. Ron Hubbard Way, careful not to disturb the street artist painting a mural saying “Happy New Year from East Hollywood” right down the center of the road.<\/p>\n
This was the last of a series of holiday-themed events organized and hosted by the Church of Scientology. These included:<\/strong><\/p>\n * A Christmas festival\u00a0<\/a>featuring the famous Mexican cartoon character \u201cCri-Cri, the singing cricket\u201d<\/p>\n * La Posada procession<\/a>\u00a0organized by the local Oaxacan community<\/p>\n * Candy Cane Lane Toy Giveaway<\/a>\u00a0where they placed 7,000 Christmas gifts in the hands of local children<\/p>\n * Annual L.
