On Feb. 14, Hollister Recreation organized its annual Cupid Express, where volunteers put together balloon bouquets and delivered them all around town. Each bouquet was $12 and included candy or a rose.
Preparation for the event took place at the Veterans Memorial Building located on 649 San Benito Street. A few volunteers, including Councilman Rick Perez, dressed as Cupid (red shirts, white wings and a bow and arrow) to deliver the gifts.
Over 150 balloon bouquets were ordered and delivered to friends, family, and local businesses.
