Garden Grove experienced some real winter weather for a few hours on Saturday when snowy hills formed for sledding.
Along with the manmade snow, Winter in the Grove featured the city’s tree-lighting ceremony, entertainment, activities for families and a visit from Santa Claus.
The winter wonderland was hosted at the city’s Village Green Park.
