REDVERS - The Town of Redvers held its fifth annual Winterfest on Dec. 11, and the day was a huge success.
The Observer interviewed one of the committee members, Kendra Miller, at the conclusion of the event.
“Our committee was extremely pleased at how the day went. Our children enjoyed the magician, the balloon sculptor, the bouncy castle, and paw patrol. The kids had a great craft class that was well attended, as was our feature movie The Grinch.
“Many participated in the scavenger hunt and of course the highlight of the day was the appearance of Princess Elsa and Olaf at the Golden Age Centre. The place was packed.”
The community was busy all day with families in attendance from Carnduff, Gainsborough, Manor, Carlyle, Maryfield and many other locations. The sleigh rides were a popular attraction and the committee thanks Nelson Motors for arranging this service. Twenty-five women also participated in a wreath making class.
The memory tree was lit at 5 p.m. and there was good participation in the Winterfest parade. Residents were provided with a Twinkle Tour courtesy of the Town of Redvers transit van and both businesses and residences were judged on their decorating.
A large bonfire complete with hot chocolate was capably manned by members of the Redvers Fire Department.
Miller wished to thank all committee members including Kayleen Gaudet and Megan Ellison and the many volunteers for their hard work. Kudos were also extended to Santa photographer Kristen Dumaine, daycare workers and Town of Redvers employees.
Concluded Miller: “Thank-you to all that attended and worked at the Redvers Winterfest this year. It went off without a hitch and in fact incoming donations and admissions more than offset all expenses. Here’s hoping for another Winterfest in 2022.”
