decorated Arboretum. Holiday entertainment for the evening will be provided by the
Dickens Carolers and the Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra. The staff of the

crafts for the children and families. And then, sometime during the of course of
the evening, Santa will arrive on Maple Valley Fire & Life Safety’s Holiday Engine
for a picture opportunity for everyone who believes.
