Don’t Hibernate Fair

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

Folks from Tofield and all throughout the surrounding area gathered in the Tofield Community Hall on Thursday, September 5th, to make the plans that would help them stay out of hibernation this winter. Though meteorologists are already saying it’s going to be a cold one, it certainly didn’t dampen the planning spirits as families and individuals of all ages came out to see if there was something for them on the agenda.

The organizations who attended this year included children’s organizations such as Pre-K Day Care, Tofield Minor Hockey, dance, art, and music studios, the Tofield Public Library, Sea Cadets, and Girl Guides. For adults, writing clubs, art associations, the Tofield Community Health Foundation, and the Royal Canadian Legion branch added their own piece to the pie in order to provide some reasons to get out of the house.

Making their mark on the community for years, but with extra growth this past year, the Tofield Community Health Foundation advertised some additions to the hospital, as well as the extremely popular double bike – with a wheelchair on the front so that wheelchair-bound seniors can still get out and about on a bicycle. “Whether someone’s looking for extra-curriculars for the kids, or a creative or volunteering outlet for themselves, this event was definitely the right place to come to,” said one volunteer.
