The Estevan Early Years Family Resource Centre (EEYFRC) is gearing up for its annual Kickoff to Summer celebration — and this year’s edition promises to be the biggest yet. Taking place on Wednesday, June 26 from 4:30 to 7:00 PM, the outdoor event offers a fun, family-friendly way to mark the last day of school, while also supporting local charities.
The celebration includes longtime favourites like bouncy castles, face painting, and a petting zoo — but 2025 brings a new feature that’s sure to grab kids’ attention: a Touch-a-Truck zone with 15 unique vehicles already confirmed.
This year, we’re adding a Touch-a-Truck event. It's an opportunity for the kids to get up close and look at the big trucks and unique vehicles. It's a chance for children to explore exciting careers in construction, public safety, farming, and more — and to meet the local heroes. — Misty Pennington, EEYFRC
