REDLANDS >> Downtown served as the kingdom of Arendelle for Queen Elsa from “Frozen”on Saturday, as several businesses helped host a special event based on the hit Disney film.

Mini Elsas and Annas walked along State Street with excited faces as they stopped at several stations set up to keep youngsters busy until the guest of honor arrived.

“This is a fun event for winter and downtown,” said Tami Barr, owner of Crackerjacks, who helped organize the event with support from Jax Toys, Seed, Sixth Street School of Music and the Frugal Frigate. “I knew it would be (busy), but oh my god. We had 75 wands available for children to make and we sold out right away.”

Parents and grandparents were eager to capture their child’s visit with Elsa on their smartphones or digital cameras, while many youngsters asked Her Majesty questions about the film or her dress.

Singers from the Sixth Street School of Music entertained the crowd with songs from “Frozen” and other popular Disney films.

Among the performers was Kelsey Cauldron, 13 of Highland, who performed “Frozen’s” signature song, “Let it Go,” although her favorite character is Princess Anna.

“I like that she stands up for her love of her sister, and I like how she is goofy and amazing,” Kelsey said.

Barr, whose goal was to draw more people downtown, has more plans.

“I love event planning, so I’ll be planning more events, and with other stores too,” she said. “I just like to bring business to downtown. It’s such a cute downtown, and I love it.”
