Leduc 40th Rodeo Parade

Saturday May 2nd our group walked in the Leduc's 40th Rodeo Parade to gain awareness and support for our playground. Many people were supportive with waves, hoots and cheering, we assume *nudge, nudge* that those that were cheering us on have already registered through this site to help us on build day. :)

Our kids found it very exciting to be part of the parade experience and grinned ear to ear as they handed out the Kool Aid packs, Water Bottles and T-Shirts to other kids and families calling them over. We really look forward to seeing the size of those smiles on build day when they see the playground that was built with so much support and hard work.

Leduc Baby Sale

The Southfork Park Project members made an appearance at the Leduc Baby Sale hosted by R.O.M.P.S at the Leduc High School this past Saturday! R.O.M.P.S hosted the Baby Sale to raise funding for their renovations. The Baby Sale hit record attendance with over 700 visitors and 80 vendors attending the event.
Dubbed the "Kool Mom's" from The playground project we added a concession and silent auction to the event to raise money for our playground! Tim Horton's Coffee, Hot Dogs, Chips & Pop were bought up by the many many many people arriving shortly before the doors opened for the event. Our concession sold out of hotdogs shortly before noon! The silent auction had about twenty items donated to be auctioned and the proceeds going directly to the park fund. The Silent Auction & Concession added $1375 to our fund!!
A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone that donated Silent Auction Items, purchased from the concession, and to ROMPS for helping us fundraise along side them!
