A new group in Battleford hopes to bring some fun downtown.
Former mayor Gail Sack was at Town Hall on Monday to speak to town council on behalf of the new Battleford Community Spirit Group.
The group is planning an evening party on Thursday, July 18, in downtown Battleford.
Plans for the event include a sidewalk sale and street festivities including food and entertainment.
“A group of us got together, thinking that we needed to kind of revitalize the spirit in our town,” Sack said. “We feel that we have a lot of new people living in our town that are not aware of what we have in our town.”
Many residents go to the lake on weekends, and that’s why the planned date for the event is a Thursday.
Sack said the group’s plan is to see how the event goes, and possibly plan more in the future.
The group is looking for volunteers for the event.
Mayor Ames Leslie said the plan is exciting.
“I think any time members of the community bring forth ideas and concepts like this to make our community better and give our residents something to do is tremendous,” Leslie said.
