Newsletter 2023
Greetings Members !
Thanks to all the members who dropped by Fright Night Both on Main Street, 21 October!
Marj's brilliant idea for a Dr. Suess themed booth was received very positively by toddlers , teens and Moms and Dads alike. We had over 400 children stop by the booth! It was wonderful to work with our partner agencies to provide a safe place for kids of all ages to celebrate, dress up , and get some tasty treats.
Fur Trade Christmas , Saturday 09 December, 2023 from 10:00am - 3pm
The Historic Site will host lots of fun activites
and we certainly would be hapy to have you drop by and lend a hand. Some highlights for this year include Bannock on a Stick ; Hot Dog Roast with hot chocolate ; a Swag Craft booth ; a toboggan hill ; snowshoeing ; and wreath decorating. The fun doesn't stop there... bring the family and enjoy a sleigh ride, cookie decorating, a trip to a Caban a Sucre amongst other traditional Christmas actives from the Fur Trade era!
Wrap up a fun family oriented day by giving the kiddies a chance to meet Fur Trade Santa !!
