Posted on by Dave Harmon

Saturday Night saw Neepawa participate in the Parade of Lights.  The event had a great turn out with lots of Christmas cheer. The Neepawa Kin Club, along with Arts Forward, entered a float complete with children singing Christmas carols. Members of the Kin Club walked the parade route collecting unwrapped Christmas gifts for the Salvation Army Christmas hampers. Neepawa Kin Club President, Shelley Foxton, proudly stated, “it was terrific to see the whole community come together and share in the Christmas spirit. The joy in the children’s faces will keep the club doing this for years to come.” The club is currently selling Cheer for a Year tickets, the draw date is December 16th, so get yours soon.
