Sutter s Fort is a short journey away either by public transportation, shuttle or foot. The return train leaves around 6 p.m. making for a long, tiring but eventful day. Mature second graders could handle it, but might be well advised to wait three years and go as fifth graders. Holiday Sing Brings girls together to sing holiday songs on the street corners of downtown Los Altos. Girls are scheduled for 15 minutes per location and spend part of the afternoon at Los Altos Youth Center making holiday crafts which are then used to decorate holiday food baskets for the needy.
Girls arrive after dinner with accompanying adults.
Craft and other group activities are prepared by the organizing troop to keep the girls busy until around 11 p.m., then it's into sleeping bags to watch a movie. A light breakfast snack and girls are on their way home with fun memories to share. Organizers try to schedule about 10 troops at each dance festival. Cookies and juice are served afterwards. Dances typically last the length of one song.
