For summer fun under the sun and stars, be sure to make a stop at Woodlawn Regional Park Boundary Dam beach on August 15. This year’s Beach Bash promises to be one that you don’t want to miss, as the day is packed full of activities for the whole family.
“It’s a good day to spend on the beach. It’ll be busy, with people Sea-Dooing, boating, and houseboating,” said Rebecca Westling, marketing and events coordinator with the Estevan Chamber of Commerce. “It’s great for a family day during the day. It’s just a real nice atmosphere to be involved in.”
The event will feature an assortment of summer activities, including swimming, face- painting and a sand castle competition. In addition to the competition, there’ll be a sandcastle sculptor present, showing aspiring castle builders the ropes, through a sandcastle building demonstration.
Later in the day, Dave and Louie, a ventriloquist, will be performing on the main stage. A beach volleyball tournament will follow, later in the afternoon. The tournament will feature eight teams competing on the park’s two courts. Westling encourages those interested in participating to register their teams as soon as possible, as there are only eight spots available, and they’re filling up fast. To register a team, call 306-634-0805.
Guests need not worry about having fun on an empty stomach, either. Food vendors from Homemade Cravings, Robbin Bobbin Pizza and Cindy’s Ice Cream Truck will be at the beach, serving food and refreshments. Adults feeling thirsty can turn to the beer gardens, which will open for the day at 2 p.m.
In the evening, guests can look forward to a fireworks display which will be best seen from the beach. The musical entertainment for the night will begin at 8 p.m.The talent for the night includes Mascara, and Third Degree Birnz, bands that both hail from Regina.
To help guests get to and from the bash safely, Westling notes there will be a shuttle service running, throughout the event, between the Estevan Shopper’s Mall and the gatehouse at Woodland Regional Park’s service site. Shuttle service will run from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. While the ride out is free, there is a fee for the return trip.
