The weather held up perfectly for us, making for a great afternoon full of community spirit. We had plenty of hot dogs fired up on the grill and lots of sweet cupcakes handed out!

A massive THANK YOU to Willow Springs Creative Centre for handling the cooking and keeping everyone well-fed!

We also enjoyed rock painting, live music, and seeing everyone drop by.
