The event has been annually organized by Lion Tim since 2009 and was a huge success again with over 80 people coming through.

Once again, Lion Tim challenged local schools to see which school had the highest turnout!

[break]The results are as follows!
#1 Turner Valley, #2 Oilfields HS, #3 Millarville & Langdon (yes, Langdon!).

Fun was had by all as there were crafts for sale, pins, cards and toys for trade or sell. Kids enjoyed free games, where everyone was a winner, run by Keyana and Kiri from Oilfields High School Girls Senior Rugby.

A Special Limited Edition pin was issued that day. The pin incorporated 3 main points. The celebration of Canada 150, Lions International 100 years and Foothills Lions Club over 50 years of service in the community.
