Wilkie In Motion members descended onto the Wilkie Regional Park on a sunny Saturday, March 10, to set up for Capture the Flag and A Town Wide Snowball Fight. The Regional Park looked like a sea of sparkling snow, and the five deer that were enjoying the grounds quickly rushed away from their morning rituals as we filled the air with our chatter.
The course for Capture the Flag was soon mapped out by team leader Helen Urlacher and helpers. All there was to do then was to wait for the bundled-up parents and children to arrive.
Parents and children started their descent into the Regional Park just shortly after 11 a.m., and soon everyone was split into two teams and taking their sides to ensure what would be a great fun game of Capture the Flag in the snow-filled park.
After the game of Capture the Flag, the hot dogs and hot chocolate soon arrived, and everyone was soon enjoying the noon sun, the hot dogs and the hot chocolate.
As the organizers tried making snowballs, the plan was to just let the kids enjoy the snow, enjoy the outdoors, and enjoy the whole day!
Wilkie in Motion appreciated the kind donation from the Wilkie Delta Co-op for the hot dogs and hot chocolate for everyone that came out for the event.
We are awaiting to hear how Wilkie did on logging in minutes for the Go Out and Play Challenge. Thank you to everyone who participated in this challenge for Wilkie. Let’s continue to Get Out and Play, not just for a chance to win something, but a chance to change something in your lives and the lives of others as well!
Wilkie In Motion is still looking for motivated people to join us! Please contact Helen Urlacher at:[email protected] or on our Facebook page at Wilkie Saskatchewan In Motion. Let’s start getting more active, Saskatchewan!
