New beginnings and equipment were showcased at the free Kinette Back-to-School Barbeque on September 4 at Kin Community Park. The barbecue was organized and sponsored by the Kinette Club of Vegreville. Event Coordinator and Past President, Candice van der torre said this BBQ was meant to show people the new gazebo with seating options of benches inside of it and picnic tables outside of it. The sponsors of this equipment are all written on the tables. This club made sure people had a good time as the BBQ featured hamburgers, hot-dogs, smokies, fresh fruits and vegetables, juice, and bottled water, as well as, free ice-cream from Little Red Wagon.

Also featured at the event was a fun and friendly street hockey game for all ages with the Jr. B. Rangers hockey players at the outdoor rink.

Especially interesting for sports lovers was the new Vegreville Vortex Football (Bantam Team Program) learning new skills at the new football field beside this park on 47 Street. Head Coach, Steven Cheremshynski said this was practice night for this team. They were doing drills, running through their offense right, working on their defense, and special team skills. They have their first game at Cold Lake on September 7, and they want to be ready to go. The following weekend on September 14, they will be at home playing against St. Paul. President of the Vegreville Football Association, Dellas Baxandall said this was the site of their new football field. There will still be additions to this field, and they are going to be building a clubhouse off to the side. So, they are not done but right now it is in the right condition to play football on.

And as always the sound of happiness was echoed throughout the event as many children played on the playground equipment at this park.
