Winterfest Celebration
Our annual Winterfest celebration was a great success! It was a family event for all ages; participants were able to enjoy the animals with Butterfield Acres petting zoo, and Horsin’ Around who took the children around for sleigh rides. There was lots to eat! Kids ate cotton candy and muffins, drank hot chocolate, and ate cake! For the younger crowd, there was face painting, and crafts and games with City of Calgary Recreation personnel.
As always, we could not have put on this event without the efforts of our volunteers and with the support of Richard Gotfried Fish Creek MLA, City of Calgary Recreation and Parks, and Lana Bedard with Jamie Newton and Associates. Thank you to the Winterfest organizing committee; Lana Bedard, Mary Simon, and Erika Diaz. And finally, thank you to our volunteers; Pat Teed, Dianne Wilkinson, Karen Connolly, Janice Schneider, Lisa and Jason Gallant, Royce Leal of Leal Exterior Renovations, Kim Dash, Mari Anne Godlonton, Sunil Bagwe, Michelle Haist, Karen Connolly, and Ryan Gaudet. Thank you to all who came, we look forward to seeing you next year!
