South Frontenac Family Day In Piccadilly

Feb 21, 2013

Over 150 people gathered at the Frontenac Arena in Piccadilly for third annual day of family fun in the winter sun on February 18. Visitors were treated to a free BBQ and a number of games and rides that kept youngsters entertained through the morning and afternoon. There was a constant group waiting for Norm Garrison of Parham, who offered horse drawn wagon rides. Kids won an assortment of free prizes as they snow shoed, ice fished, tossed bean bags, frisbees and rings, and rolled hula hoops, while others opted to climb the 8-foot snow banks surrounding the grounds. Inside the arena volunteers from all of the South Frontenac were invited to enter a draw, and the winners won gift certificates to Local Family Farms and Blossoms, two local area businesses who generously donated the prizes for this year’s draw.

The event was organized by Dan Bell and Pam Morey of Harrowsmith, who enlisted the help of a crew of dedicated volunteers. Bell said the event “is a great friendly, free event for everyone in the area and encourages people to get outside and have some fun. We are Canadians after all .. and the winter season offers up a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors.”
