Arrangements were entrusted to the East Prince Funeral Home, Summerside. A Fall Zombie Fest Friday in Alberton was so well attended that organizers are already talking about teaming up for a winter event the next time a teacher’s workshop gives students a day off from school.
The Western Region Sport and Recreation Council pooled its resources with the Alberton, Tignish and O’Leary recreation departments to host the event. Classes were out for a professional development day. Transportation West joined in to provide daytime transportation to and from Alberton for participants from O’Leary and Tignish.
Staff and volunteers helped coordinate a morning of bowling and activities at Hope Centre and an afternoon of outdoor activities at the Old Stone Station Park. Children and youth were invited back to Hope Centre Friday evening for a costumed dance. Emily Arsenault with the Western Region Sport and Recreation Council said organizers were thrilled by the large turn-out and inspired to work together to host future joint events.
