Raising money for an important cause while having a really fun afternoon is what the Children’s Wish Foundation Family Fun Day is all about.
The event took place yesterday in Vermillion Park.
Colette Carefoot, an organizer of the event who was all dressed up in full costume, says the kids loved it and shares how it went.
“It’s been great. We’ve had awesome weather. We’ve had a great turn out.” She continues, “we’ve had the RCMP and their mascot out here.”
Families came out in large numbers to play games, get their faces painted, and even get to look at fire trucks up close.
“I’ve been getting a lot of feedback on the costume parades. I think over the years, hopefully, we can kinda get a theme going and it catches on.” Carefoot said.
Children’s Wish Foundation helps families who are going through a difficult time. “Absolutely all the proceeds that we get from this event go towards the Children’s Wish Foundation. I think it’s important for a lot of people who are attending. Some of us have been touched by it personally. A lot of us here just want to give as much money as we can because it’s going to be hopefully a service that we won’t have to use. But for those of us who have, it’s incredible.”
Carefoot says Family Fun Day isn’t going away and they expect even more fun next year. and she reminds families not to forget their costumes.
