There was a lineup for snacks and rock climbing at the first Family Fun Day hosted by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on June 9, and volunteers were glad to see so much interest from the kids.
The day started with a pancake breakfast, before moving over to the park beside the church for a ton of other cool things to check out.
A rock climbing wall, brought in through Camp Whitesand just outside of Theodore, SK, had no shortage of brave souls waiting to try it out. The wall was suited for all ages and sizes and was a hit with the crowd.
Those waiting in line to do some climbing were able to check out the face painting booth, take a go in one of the bouncy castles, or grab a snack of popcorn, ice cream, or cotton candy.
The Moose Jaw Fire Department also brought one of their fire trucks over, giving kids a tour of the inside and answering questions.
The event was simply meant to connect with families in the city, said one of the church’s pastors, Troy Guderyan. Everything was free to attend, and run by volunteers.
“We just want to reach out to the community and something that we want to do just to let the kids have fun and let people know that we're here,” said Guderyan.
Judging by the crowd, he’s hopeful to bring the free festivities back again next year.
“I think we will probably look at doing this as an annual Family Fun Day, for the community, and the way it went this year, I think we'll be excited about next year,” said Guderyan.
