Don’t Hibernate Fair a platform for local engagements
The Tofield Community Hall was abuzz with activity this past Thursday, Sept. 5 as local organizations and sports associations from the area gathered together to showcase their offerings and latest projects.
“We had 25 vendors who participated this year,” said Vanita Eglauer, recreation/facilities coordinator at the Town of Tofield who had put this event on.
From dance and skating to sea cadets and music lessons, it was all covered.
“As sea cadets we offer a lot of different things,” said Lt. (N) Ron Cowan. “There’s sailing, first-aid, nautical activities, team sports, music, public speaking and leadership training to summer camps.”
Cowan added that joining the sea cadets would be a unique way for anyone 12 years and older to make new friends and try some new activities.
The cadet program is funded by the Department of National Defence in partnership with the civilian Navy League, Army Cadet League and Air Cadet League of Canada.
Present at the Tofield and Area Health Services Foundation booth were chair and Town of Tofield councillor Brenda Chehade, Beaver County councillor Kevin Smook, Yvonne Brown, and Sandy Brolly promoting the Alberta Culture Days event on Friday, Sept. 27.
“We will be having various entertainments and cuisine like last time at the Tofield Community Hall,” said Brown. “There will be some local acts and we will be hosting a community supper with dishes from various cultures.”
