After eight years, a Yuma Christmas tradition came back, and this time with a very special surprise for its visitors.

"We wanted to bring this tradition back by bring snow back to the community. We’re looking at five tons of snow this weekend and next," said Rachel Robles CEO of Art of Intelligent Minds. 

All proceeds will go toward Art of Intelligent Minds, a nonprofit organization that offers mental health services to our community.

"We want to offer the school districts licensed psychologists, so we help evaluate the spectrum disorders,  behavioral issues, learning disabilities. We want to get to the schools we want to help individuals that are struggling with mental health," said Art of Intelligent Minds Aaron Fitch. 

By and large, The Christmas Village, located at the Z Fun Factory, has entertainment for the entire family.

Not only that. admission is $5 for adults and $1 for 17 years or younger. 

"We’re trying to bring back the real tradition and bless families offering raffles toys for tots. There are a lot fun things we have at the Christmas village and we want everyone to be a part", said Robles. 

So, make sure to head out to the Christmas village this Saturday to get a glimpse of snow here in the desert.
