12th Annual Child Abuse Dollhouse Festival Planned
PROVO, UT — A real estate auction is coming to the Provo Library this weekend, but you’re not likely to find anything listed as “spacious” or “roomy” — unless you’re Barbie and Ken, that is. It’s the 12th annual Dollhouse Festival, a yearly benefit to raise funds for child abuse prevention and therapy through the Utah County Children’s Justice Center. The weekend event will feature the usual dollhouse auctions, toy boutique, charity dinner and Mad Hatter Tea Party.
