Historic Downtown celebrated Moms
on Saturday, May 9th. More than 1,000 moms with
their friends and families visited the downtown to
participate in the flower trail, specialty lunches and
shopping. Entertainment was featured throughout the downtown
including henna art, caricature artist, an accordion player,
Come Back Buddy and stiltwalkers. This was the 2nd
Mother’s Day Celebration in downtown Glendale. The event
began last year to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of Mother’s Day. “Our Mother’s Day
celebration was a fun filled day and a perfect opportunity
for families to enjoy the unique aspects of Downtown
Glendale,” said Lorraine Pino, Tourism Manager.

& Cupcakes Tea Party with fairytale theme
Miracle Haven
5845 W. Palmaire Ave

Mothers, daughters and
granddaughters celebrated Mother's Day at Miracle Haven's
first ever "Cupcakes & Tutu's Tea Party".
The girls were absolutely precious in their custom
made tutu's. A light lunch and "tea" (actually
milk or strawberry lemonade in tiny, white teapots) was
served to each of the girls, while mothers enjoyed their
choice of triangle-cut sandwiches and pasta salad.

After lunch each little girl received a princess make-over
while moms were pampered with sugar scrub, lotions and a
cooking eye sachet. The afternoon was a charming success
and everyone seemed to enjoy their lunch and time
together.

Miracle Haven would
love to host a "Daddy Daughter Tutu's and
Cupcakes" lunch in June, and let the dad's make a
special memory, too. Hopefully we'll be able to secure a
masseuse for a little, guy-style "pampering"
while daughters have their makeovers. Details: TBA
