“We are pleased to bring back this popular festival after missing it for a couple years due to the pandemic,” said Cornelius Sawatzky. “It has grown tremendously over the years due to the dedicated efforts by committed volunteers from our community. They have worked diligently behind the scenes to bring this popular event to the community.”
“I invite everyone to take the opportunity to meet your neighbours, your local business providers, and community organizations at this carnival-like event,” said Councillor Paul Sharman. “Most of all, take the opportunity to meet and thank the organizers. Their dedication is a true example of community spirit.”
