Party in the Park 2019!

Updated August 10, 2019: This year’s Party in the Park was yet again another success, thanks to the volunteers, sunshine and great spirit! We provided two activities: a lake-waste sorting game which was quite popular with children and parents and a passport challenge. We also gave away free popcorn and lollipops, which is always a great way to reel children to our table. In addition, the Drum Circle played, inviting children and others from the community to participate or simply enjoy the wonderful music.

Additionally, we had a draw for children and parents, a way to get ideas from the community for our prospective summer camp in 2020 for Mimico! The prizes included gift cards to local establishments Birds and Beans, F.B.I Pizza and Ed’s Real Scoop!

Thank you to all who helped set-up, clean-up and manage the activities. Also big thanks to Iris and Marlena who answered all my questions regarding the event. The evening was full of cheer and laughter. Fortunately, it didn’t rain this time!
