Earlier this month, on Saturday, December 7, the Community Resource and Recreation Centre (CRRC) got a fundraising boost. The Friends of the Plex, the committee responsible to raise money for the facility currently under construction in Niverville, organized a family-friendly event at Whitetail Meadow—Christmas Town.
The event was a great success, with 625 people attending. All the proceeds of the event, which came to about $3,000, were donated to the CRRC project.
Kids got the chance to meet Mr. and Mrs. Clause and have their photos taken with Santa. In addition to the Santa photo op, there were many activity stations to keep visitors busy, includes those devoted to games, crafts and ornaments, selfies, storytime with Mrs. Claus, Elf School, a bake sale, and the Kids Christmas Shop. Coffee, hot chocolate, and snacks were available for purchase.
The committee wishes to thank all the volunteers who made the event possible, including Lindsay Unrau, Ester Raftis, Annette Fast, Tyler Savard, Tim Hamm, Katie Knebel, Brynne Knebel, B’Elanna Piasta, Cara Dowse, Jamie King, Monique Lasko, Sheila Doerksen, Claudia Jofre, Marcelle Nadeau, Anais Santerre-Ratte, Nathan Boucher, Alvina Funk, Michelle Barnes, Amy Barnes, Brooke Adam, Danielle Balcaen, Marcelle Nadeauand and a special appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus. They also extend their heartfelt gratitude to Whitetail Meadows owners Dave and Lori Neufeld for their service.
