PENHOLD - There was an overflowing full house of joyous Canada Day celebrants at the town's Lincoln Street Rec Centre.
Hundreds of locals, as well as many from out of town, came down to the rec centre for late morning and early afternoon fun on Canada's 152nd birthday. There was plenty of games and activities for kids, including face painting, bouncy castles and bubble blowing, as well as a barbecue served up by the Penhold Fire Department. Town staff also served up free Canada Day cupcakes.
"We are delighted with the turnout," said Carrie Black, the town's communications and events coordinator. "This is an annual event in the community and we are happy to have a wonderful event to share Canada Day with the community."
Penhold's Canada Day celebrations at the rec centre went from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
