Council District 4 Annual Holiday Open House

Councilmember LaBonge, Gloria Pink of Pink's Hot Dogs and Fritz Coleman of Channel 4.

More than 1,000 revelers celebrated the holiday season on Friday night at Council District 4's Annual open house. Pink's Hot Dogs dished up free franks for hours from the parking lot of Councilmember LaBonge's field office on Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake.
"This event gets bigger and bigger each year," Councilmember LaBonge said. "It's a beautiful community event for Toluca Lake, and draws folks from all over the Valley into this great shopping village." In keeping with tradition, Channel 4 weathercaster Fritz Coleman broadcast the lighting of the neighborhood Christmas tree live. The Chamber of Commerce choir sang Christmas carols and Santa - flanked by his elves - rode up and down the streets in a horse-drawn sleigh. There was even a little bit of snow, even in Southern California.
