Area children were recently delighted by the opportunity to meet some of their favourite Disney characters and superheroes.
"The Superhero and Princess Ball was such a blast," said organizer Jessica Evans.
The more than 100 attendees "just loved this event and had such a good time dancing with their favourite princesses and superheroes, playing games, making crafts and decorating and eating yummy cookies," she wrote in an email to the Round Up.
The ball ó a fundraiser for the Sundre Daycare Centre, Valley Kidlets Preschool and Valley Kids Before and After School Programs ó was held Sunday, Nov. 5 at the Sundre Community Centre.
"Although we didn't have quite the sell-out attendance (we were hoping for), we are still very happy with the way that it turned out," said Evans, expressing gratitude for all of the volunteers and sponsors who contributed to making the ball a success.
The event was made possible through numerous local sponsors, including a Sundre Event Development Initiative Fund grant, she said.
"We are very fortunate to have a non-profit daycare program like this in Sundre. Without the generous support of the town, the community and the parents this wouldn't be possible," she said.
"The support keeps these programs running, which in turn helps to keep our town and our community strong, vibrant and competitive with other communities. When a new, young family is looking to move to our community, one of the first things they need to find is quality childcare. So it is crucial to keep these programs alive."
