A Regina based company is bringing a little magic to children in rural areas.
Children young and old with have the chance to mingle with royalty as Storybook Princess Parties make their way to rural communities this summer.
This is the first trip outside the major centres for the Regina based company, says owner Darcie Davis.
Davis wanted to bring the princess experience to kids in the rural areas, including a tour stop in Watson.
“We have characters and events in and around Regina, and some in Saskatoon. There’s nothing in smaller, local communities.”
Davis wanted to provide this opportunity for little girls and boys and give them a chance to experience the magic of seeing their favourite fairytale characters brought to life, including Rapunzel and her prince, Cinderella, the ice queen and snow princess.
“The most rewarding thing is just getting to see the kids face when it lights up and they get to see their hero or their favourite characters in real life.”
Kids talk about their experiences for months, says Davis.
Based on the success of this tour, Davis is hoping to continue the tour with more locations and more characters.
Davis and her staff have personal connections to some of the locations, with one of her performers being from Watson.
Davis says many of the performers friends and family that she grew up with now have kids of their own, so she knows that kids are there to enjoy the princess event.
Having those connections to their stops also makes booking what she needs easier as well, she says.
The Watson Princess party is on July 22.
The character company is not affiliated with Disney.
