Goderich Children's Festival Courtesy of Lori Patterson In spite of the unsure weather Saturday morning, the Goderich Children's Fes- tival enjoyed a good turnout of families at their 16th Annual event held at Goder- ich Memorial Arena. Celebrating Canada's 150th and Goderich's 190th birthdays was the theme of the event with all kinds of activities like Canadian themed crafts, glitter tattoos, dress -up fun, a fishing pond, play dough, face painting, sing a long fun with Dan the Music Man and a high energy dog agility show by Four Paws Flying. Lots of community groups and businesses joined the fun with kids activities like Finchers, Huron County Library, Little Bowl, Patricia's Dance Techniques, The Sal- vation Army, AMGH Foun- dation, Camp Menesetung, Camp Kintail, Maitland Golf Course, Goderich Horticul- tural Society, Goderich Fire Dept. and Goderich YMCA with the 4th Goderich Scouts providing the food. As always all the activities are provided free of charge to mai n t a i n the festival's self -chosen mandate to provide a day of fun and learning for all kids regardless of the financial status of their family. This is only possible through the generous dona- tions received from local businesses and service groups, the fundraising efforts of the all -volunteer committee consisting of Amanda Bergsma, Te -Anna Morgan, Haley MacLennan, volunteer coordinator Sarah Campbell and coordinator Lori Patterson.
