THOROLD — Amici’s Banquet Hall will be transformed into a winter wonderland on Saturday, Nov. 30, with characters from the hit Disney movie Frozen showing up to support local hockey teams.

Thorold’s novice and atom Blackhawks hockey teams and their families are encouraging folks to head over to the banquet hall that day to see the set created for Frozen fans.

Marsha Coppola, mom of two boys involved in the fundraiser, said there will be 10 stations set up throughout the hall, and people will be able to have their photos taken with their favourite characters from Frozen including Sven (a real-life reindeer) with sleigh, Kristoff, Anna, Elsa and Olaf.

Kids will be bale to participate in activities such as face painting, glitter tattoos, coronation dance lesson with Fasciations Dance Studio in Thorold, crafts, and have their hair braided like their favorite character by Cappa School of Hair styling and Esthetic.

Seating times will be 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., noon to 1:30 p.m., and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Tickets, which must be purchased ahead of time, are $25 each and can be purchased at NeVaeh Kids Spa at 59 Front St. South or from a parent on either team. Coppola said the tickets are already three-quarters sold.

“Niagara right now is so into Frozen frenzy like the rest of Canada and we as parents wanted to do something different this year to raise funds for local Thorold hockey,” said Coppola.

People from as far away as Burlington and Toronto have heard about the Thorold event and have driven down to buy tickets, she said.

Coppola said organizers were also looking to recruit local vendors and volunteers for the event.
