Three hundred and four kids came through the sold-out Penticton Easter Hop-Along all with ‘happy smiles’ through the Safety Village collecting treats last Saturday.
The Kiwanis Club of Penticton partnered with the Penticton Safety Village to host this outdoor event, which also collected food donations for Fill the Food Gap Penticton. Plenty of local businesses were also in attendance.
“I think the event went very well, very smoothly. Going on the Halloween event, it was organic. It just went really well,” Kiwanis member Stormie Holland said. “All the sponsors were right behind everything.”
The ongoing success of the event only makes the Kiwanis team excited for their future plans.
“We have loose plans right now for something during the summer,” Greg Holland, Kiwanis club president said, adding that they’re hoping to put an event together in the park.
“I think we will have something during the summer. And certainly next Halloween will be our next major kids event.”
Total Restoration and Castanet’s colouring contest is still going on, with a chance to win one of three gift baskets. Participants have until April 29 to enter. Full instruction on the colouring page online here.
