Due to a good chance of rain on Thursday evening, the Weyburn Credit Union's annual Community Barbecue this Thursday, June 26th, from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m., will now be held in the Weyburn Agricultural Society's Exhibition Hall.
Marketing Coordinator Jasmine Kravanya said it's a free event, with live music from Switch and $76,000 being presented to 11 local not-for-profit organizations.
"Join us for a celebration full of food, fun, music, and meaningful community impact. Together we're giving back with over $76,000 in community fund cheques going to local organizations that uplift support and strengthen the community we all call home. It's our way of investing in the people and places that matter most, including you."
She emphasized this event is for the entire community.
"Whether you're our member or not, this is open to everyone. We just want everyone to come out and have a great time and just celebrate our community and these incredible organizations and what they're doing and just really watch us shine a highlight on them and give them some money."
The event, as always, will have plenty for the kids and just happens to fall on the last day of the school year.
"If you got some kiddos and you want them to burn off some steam, we do have free bounce houses. That's always a huge hit, and we're going to do temporary tattoos, but face painting, we're going to try this year, so you might see some really interesting designs, we're newbies, but we're excited to give it a try because we know how excited the kiddos get about that."
She said they'll also have lawn games and other activities, and depending on the heat, Fat Cat may also make an appearance.
Why make supper when this event will also include food?
"We're keeping the price at $5, so you can choose a hot dog or a burger, chips or a cookie this year that's new, and a drink all for 5 bucks," said Kravanya. "What a fun way to end the school year and kick off summer, just come out and celebrate community, bump into your neighbors and your friends, and just have an all-around great time."
"Who wants to cook supper on the last day of school? Come on down and dance and play games and get some delicious food."
