BATTLEFORD - Families and visitors alike will have lots to do at the Fred Light Museum in Battleford at the upcoming annual Family Fun Day.
The event will take place Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Museum retiring manager Bernadette Leslie said it will be a great day to get out and get to know the museum.
"We'll have horse and wagon rides, a clown who does balloon twisting, a magic show, and a dunk tank."
Some of the local celebrities who have volunteered to participate in the dunk tank include Battleford Mayor Ames Leslie, Battleford Coun. Kevin Russell, Battlefords MLA Jeremy Cockrill, Justin Miller - Fred Light Museum manager trainee, one of the firefighters, and the manager of the Battleford Discovery Co-op.
"There will be all sorts of different games for adults and children," said Bernadette.
The event also includes four bands that will play outside at the gazebo.
The day also includes a silent auction inside the Fire Brigade building, with funds raised benefitting the museum.
Coffee and tea will be available inside the Fire Brigade building at the Seniors' Corner for people who want a little respite.
People can also take in the many demonstrations happening at the museum, such as blacksmithing, rope making and woodturning.
The day is also a good time for people to get to know the museum more.
"Most people who come through the Family Fun Day will take the time to come through the museum," Leslie said.
There will be something for the kids, too.
"Most times we do have a little scavenger hunt that they can look for in here for different artifacts," Leslie said.
