Wet and wild were the words of the day at the annual Family Fun Day of Harrowsmith Public School. Students and their families participated in a number of events including a water balloon toss, jumping castle, a jello, bubble gum and whip cream eating contest, a stuffed animal and cake walk, and a fish pond.
Tracy Prince, who coordinated the event, said the funds raised will be put towards building a track in the school yard, part of a five-year plan that includes, along with the track, gardens, benches, and possibly a bird sanctuary. “We're in the early developmental and planning stages right now but since we have a lot of students who participate in track and field, we're hoping the community will come together and that we'll be able to raise the funds needed over the next five years.”
A bit of rain prevented a few of the planned outdoor events from taking place but when all was said and done, Tracy was “extremely pleased” with the turnout.
