Blakely Hall and the Issaquah Highlands Council played host to the Dec. 6 Annual Issaquah Highlands Christmas Festival. The event featured horse-drawn wagon rides, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, decorating cookies and tree ornaments and a life-size Christmas nativity display, complete with a living camel. All proceeds from the event were donated to non-denominational Christian charity World Vision.
