Joshua and Emily Mosher sat at a table and worked busily on their lists for Santa.

Six-year-old Emily said she wanted anything related to Disney’s popular “Frozen” movie.

Joshua, meanwhile, wanted a robot.

But the two didn’t have to go far to give their lists to Santa because the jolly, old elf sat only a few feet way from them Sunday.

Santa was one of several attractions that included 40 local vendors, raffles, an ugly Christmas sweater contest, cookies, face-painting and two girls dressed as Anna and Elsa from “Frozen” during the Candy Cane Lane event at the Hart’s Hill Inn.

“We call it the Christmas party of the year,” said Brittany Kolek, who helped organize the event. “It’s really different. No one around here really does events like this.”

Now in its second year, the event helped raise money for the Stevens-Swan Humane Society, Kolek said.

Visitors also were asked to bring an item for the shelter.

“We pick a different charity to collect items for,” Kolek said. “Last year, we did Toys for Tots. This year, we picked the Stevens-Swan Humane Society since they’re so overpopulated.”

Nate Linen of Utica was at the event with his 6-year-old daughter Nyashia, her friend and his girlfriend.

It was obvious why they were there, he said.

“The big attraction is ‘Frozen,’” Linen said. “Anna and Elsa, the kids love them, so were out here and having a good time.”

And having a good time is exactly what Kolek and other organizers of the event were hoping would happen Sunday.

“There’s not really a lot of good things in this community to do as a family, so we figured instead of making people just go to a mall to get a picture with Santa, why not put on a family fun event for everybody,” Kolek said. “Hopefully, next year will even be better.”
