Family Day Skate a Huge Success

FCSS FAMILY DAY SKATE

We held the Family Day Skate on February 21 this year.

Keep an eye open for Family Day Skate in February 2012!

Familes enjoyed themselves skating, eating hot dogs and socailizing.

The children had the opportunity to get their faces painted by the prom commity from Willow Creek Composite High School, do a colouring activity provided by MOPS and visit with the kittens from CAReS.

 Over 200 hot dogs were given out, drinking boxes, popcorn and chips were also available for everyone to enjoy!

Beautiful black kittens look at those green eyes! Can you count how many are in this picture?  answer - 4

Meet NOEL she is an adorable, lovable and playful calico kitten. She is spayed and has all her vacinations.

A fluffy, quiet and beautiful cat who would love to be adopted!
