The Estevan Kinsmen and Kinette clubs held their annual Canada Day celebrations at Kin Park on Saturday where they gave out free food, free swimming and other fun activities.
“It’s Canada’s 150 and we’ve got free hot dogs, snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy and a bunch of games for the kids and our rink is now done so we’re trying to show that off today,” said Preston Majeran, vice president for the local Kinsmen.
He added phase two for the new rink is complete now that the boards and fencing have been installed and all that’s left is building a new change shack and getting it all ready for winter.
Aside from viewing the new rink, attendees enjoyed getting Canada 150 themed artificial tattoos and henna tattoos, outdoor bowling with giant pins and other activities, all free of charge as a way for the Kinsmen and Kinettes to give back to the community.
The event was fairly packed by about 11:30 a.m. and Tara Kyle, past president of the Kinettes Club of Estevan, said attendance usually spikes to nearly 500 people after the parade in Bienfait is over and even more people start pouring in.
“It’s all kinds of fun — they go swimming and they play the games and eat free food and have a great time,” she said.
