Families frolic at Snow Land in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa families got into the wintry spirit of the season Saturday during the annual Snow Land staged by Torelli Realty.

The event at Balearic Park included a bounce house, music, cookie decorating, visits from a firetruck and Costa Mesa’s mobile recreation vehicle, and a play area dusted with more than 40 tons of snow.

Visitors also could greet the Grinch and Santa Claus and contribute donations to the Spark of Love Toy Drive.
