City’s Family Day fun adjusted due to uncertainty of weather

By Lori Larsen

We can’t control the weather, so the City of Camrose Recreation and Culture Department, in partnership with the Camrose Public Library, Family Literacy and Family Resource Centre, has adjusted the events planned for the Family Day weekend, February 19 to 21.

The quick thinking Rec centre staff put together some alternate family fun events to better suit any type of weather–rain, snow or shine.

As for the tobogganing party scheduled for Friday, February 18, only the snow will know, and while the extended forecast holds some promise of the white stuff, the City-planned event has been put on hold. Don’t let that stop you and your friends and family from getting out to the hills for a fun slide should the pending forecast of snow make that possible.

On Saturday, February 19, the City in partnership with the Camrose Public Library, Family Literacy and the Family Resource Centre, are planning some fun at Stoney Creek Centre from 1 until 4 p.m. There will be some oversized games for families to try, story reading, and other fun activities. Attendees can still gather around the firepits and enjoy a crackling fire and some hot chocolate and cookies supplied by the City.

Once again, if the snow does fly, then by all means take advantage of a snowy hike or walk or don your own snowshoes and enjoy the incredible scenery of Stoney Creek.

On Sunday, February 20 from 1 until 4 p.m., break out your disco skates and sport an ’80s hair scrunchie, gold lamé button-down shirt and shiny leggings and come out for a free family fun skate to some disco tunes at the City of Camrose Recreation Centre Border Paving Arena. Hot chocolate and cookies will once again be available.

On Monday, February 21, beginning at 11:30 a.m., the Rose City Curling Club will be offering free curling for families. Come on down and try your hand at tossing a rock. Register by telephoning 780-672-4152 or email at rccc@cable-lynx. net.

Not all is lost just because Mother Nature won’t cooperate. That won’t stop residents from having some good old family fun.
