It was an active day with games of skill, relay races, a corn hole tournament and a lake photo guessing contest. Rachael and Hanna from the Georgian Bay Biosphere engaged us with their reptile and amphibian display and the Foley Fire Fighters allowed many kids a photo op in a real fire truck and tours of the fire station. As always, the prize table was a hive of activity and strategizing with whoops of glee as winners were drawn.

Many thanks go to all our fantastic volunteers who helped plan the events, gather the prizes, cooked and served a tasty BBQ lunch and made this another really great community event! We also want to thank the many community sponsors who either donated prizes or money to help make this event a success! Well done everyone!
