Chabad of Orange County Lights Glow Cotton Candy Menorah, Among Other Highlights

Chabad of Orange County, led by Shluchim Pesach and Chana Burston, held a unique “Glow Crazy for Chanukah” community event. It included lighting a large glowing cotton candy menorah.  The exciting and well attended glow party included dinner, glowing décor, crafts, face painting and more.  It also included a cotton candy artist.  Before the party indoors, an epic gelt drop was held outdoors.
