UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - A Utica hotel was transformed into a Christmas paradise for kids on Saturday. The parent company of the Hampton Inn, Visions Hotels, held its annual Day Out with Santa and Friends.

The special day included a free picture with Santa, pony rides and a free gift to take home. Kids could also get their faces painted, and there was a table set up for kids to write to Santa and to U.S. troops who are overseas.
