VADODARA, Dec 24: Marking the onset of the festive season, the Welcomgroup Vadodara held Christmas Carnival at the hotel's Pool Side lawns on Thursday. The carnival was attended by children and adults alike.Various stalls, some offering a variety of toys and food items on sale, others allowing the participants to have a pick at the games and music of their choice, were set up at the venue. The visitors also chanced to get colourful tatoos painted on the arms by a clown. A puppet show was also held offering much amusement to the children.
The highlight of the programme, however, was the singing of Christmas carols and performance of a Nativity Play by the students of Navrachana School followed by the visit of Santa Claus who distributed gifts and sweets to the children.
Welcomgroup will celebrate Christmas Day by organising a Lunch Buffet on Friday offering traditional specialities like roast turkey and duck on the platter.
