Solstice was an event partner for the Children's Creative Project PIECE TIME Fundraiser and their 50th Anniversary. It was a beautiful collaboration of so many great local folks, non-profits. Our SSC Board Member was an honoree at the event, for his contributions to arts and culture in our community. We had two of Pali's inflatables and a blank elephant to chalk - which was quite popular. We also continued to collect submissions for the SOLSTICE 2026 THEME! and we gathered a few more pledges for our BIGGEST Little Elephant Parade to sponsor local artists to design their Elephant for the contest. The winner will have the opportunity to paint their design on the blank elephant and become part of the international "herd".
