On Dec. 3, Symone Bolden, a student at Green Gables Elementary School in Federal Way, was invited to the Governor’s Mansion as one of five lucky Golden Ticket winners.

She got to pick four others to visit the mansion to enjoy the evening with Gov. Chris Gregoire and First Mike. She invited Monica Bolden (mom), Evonna Bolden (sister, Lakota student), Jazmine Bolden (sister) and grandparents Eva and Dennis Taylor Sr. for special treats and a Christmas festival.
