It was a fairy tale mash-up in the back yard of the Cherry Valley town hall on Saturday August 9th. A musical performance by Campfire Crew along with face painting by Emily and Stephanie set the mood for bringing back play in a fairy tale way. More than 60 playful participants enjoyed old-fashioned games, crafts, snacks and a special visit with Cinderella and Riding Hood (alias Donna and Carol from the Athol Recreation Committee).

The Athol Recreation Centre 
Thank you so much to all the volunteers and organizers. Our family had a wonderful time at your event. The kids keep asking about going back to see Little Red Riding Hood and The Princess. It is so rare to find such a family friendly activity where kids of all ages have something to do and can participate in every activity. We look forward to your next event!!
