Pirates and Princesses put their differences aside to share a table at La Dona Donuts for the Dunk & Decorate event Friday evening. 

La Dona Donuts held special hours for the monthly event that allows families to decorate mini doughnuts. The theme for this month’s decorating session was Princesses and Pirates with participants donning their tiaras and eye patches. 

Each attendee received three mini doughnuts to decorate with their choice of three glazes and seven toppings. More than 200 mini doughnuts were served.
