Three women pose and smile in front of a colorful rainbow tinsel backdrop while a fourth person in a purple shirt takes their photo. Two women wear bright tutus and athletic wear. A “Welcome” banner hangs above them. People walk on a park path beside a pond, some in casual clothes and others in Star Wars costumes. Two costumed characters give high-fives to participants as they pass by. Trees and greenery surround the scene. Gift baskets wrapped in cellophane are displayed on red-covered tables in a large room. Several people in red shirts and a few others are present, and a wall clock and painting are visible in the background. Four people outdoors on a sunny day, all wearing red shirts.
