Cool Scoops of Fun

Rosanne Fortier - News Correspondent

Children exclaimed that the treat was better than a blizzard at the Ice Cream Party at Kalyna Family Resource Network-Vegreville and Area on August 21.

Ninety attendees were at this event; 40 were caregivers, and 50 children.

Parents and children received a couple of scoops of ice cream in a cup at the build-your-own ice cream sundae area, with candies, mini-cookies, sauce, and sprinkles.

The sensory bin contained plastic cones and materials to create pretend ice-cream cones.

There was also an ice-cream stand and decorations.

Spoke Cheryl Sorensen said this event was meant to celebrate the end of summer.  They use this time to get children to play with the toys here, and to have families meet new people. “Hopefully, we will get to welcome new people to our fall programs. We want to get the community more involved and show them our new space.

This gives families a sense of community and an opportunity to come together and meet new people.”
