To teach children about the importance of recycling and the positive effect certain insects have on the environment in an interactive and mirthful manner, Kompany Family Theatre presented Secrets of the Curious Creepy
Crawlies on August 29 at Vegreville Centennial Library. The cast zoomed in with explaining how the children could get their Camp Squealy-moo Recycle Badge (Insect Investigation Badge). They continued on with a story of The Two Beatle Sisters which was followed by a song
about compost stew. The show went on with more stories and songs. There was even a story about a mosquito and a moose who were best friends. All this fun was wrapped up with a Goodbye Song and each child was handed a Camp Squealy-moo Recycle Badge.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Vegreville Elks/Kinsmen Park Playground’s Early Childhood Development Domain Sign’s focus is on Communication Skills and General Knowledge so in conjunction with the Movie Night Express, Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre partnered with Vegreville and District Child Development Coalition and Family and Community Support Services to host the Fifth Five Stop Park Hop on August 24. This park was a paradise filled with activities and stations which included giant board games, giant sidewalk chalk, and a bubble station. In honor of the
army being in the park, they had a craft where they made paper airplanes and had to try to shoot them through some holes. As well, there was a treasure hunt where children had to find pictures of the area in the park and if they found all these places when they came back, the children received a prize of books which were donated by Vegreville Preschool. There was also an obstacle course where children had to go through the obstacle course pretending to be whatever figurine of animal they pulled out. Of course, children who desired to could engage in free play on all the playground equipment at the park. As always, there were prizes and a free draw.
