The Story Behind the Celebration interfest was founded in 2013 with a mission to unite the community during a very special time of year. A day filled with winter traditions, family fun, and the holiday spirit, to the NW Bexar County area has already been years in the making. Founder and lead organizer, Gina Barbera, with Kidsville Optimist Club brought the event to NW San Antonio after establishing a similar festival on the North Side of San Antonio for nearly a decade. Teaming up with her husband Ronnie, and with the help of many sponsors, expanded to the Raymond Russell Park. It has been a dream come true for the Barberas whose mission has always been to provide children involved in the arts with a platform to shine. Winterfest allows for a constant stream of talented performers to take multiple stages and share their passion and talent with an audience. Singing, dancing, musical performances and athletic routines fill every moment and every stage through out the day. At Winterfest, the children are the main attraction. During this time of year, there are children across Bexar County who may not receive toys for the holidays. Kidsville Optimist Club has chosen Elf Louise

Christmas Project as their non-profit organization in helping to organize toy drives at elementary schools and encouraging the community to bring new, unwrapped toys to Winterfest. Winterfest is the largest toy supplier for Elf Louise Christmas Project. For the last three years it has been estimated through the efforts of school toy drives and collecting toys at Winterfest that over 15,000 toys were given to the Elf Louise Christmas Project. Winterfest has already broken attendance records and grown at an incredible rate. The focus is - and always will be – on the children, and the amount of interest and participation in the event has inspired the Barberas, with Kidsville Optimist Club, to further pursue their underlying goal; to provide even more opportunities for the children to perform and helping underprivileged families brighten their child’s Christmas with a new toy. Ronnie and Gina Barbera of Kidsville Optimist Club would like to thank all who have made the past for years a success. This event is made possible from every sponsor, vendor, volunteer, performing group, and the community. Winterfest is meant to be a very special day for many to enjoy!

setting for 10-15 minutes depending on size of pan and amount of oil. Oil is ready when a small part of the batter mixture is dropped into the oil and the mixture floats to the surface. 4- Remove heated fritter mold from the oil and dip mold into the batter mixture so that the mold is only half submerged. The batter should stick to the heated mold and you then place the mold slightly below the surface in the pan of oil. Leave the mold submerged for a few seconds und then carefully separate the now semi-hardened batter mixture from the mold so that it floats in the oil. 5- Use a fork or other utensil to turn the fritter over in the oil until both sides are golden brown and remove from the oil. Place fritter on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. 6- Once fritter is almost dry and free of excess oil, place face down a mixture of cinnamon and sugar of your choosing.
½ cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips (reserve remaining chips). 3. Pour batter into Bundt cake pan. Lightly tap pan on counter to take out any air bubbles and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes (or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean). 4. Cool cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then invert and turn out onto a wire rack. While cake is cooling, melt remaining chocolate chips and unwrapped Andes Mints candies in microwave for 15-20 seconds, stirring to make smooth. 5. Place cake on serving platter. Pour melted chocolate mixture over the cake and sprinkle with the finely crushed candy canes.
