Don’t Miss Summer West Fest!
August 12, 2015, 10:29 AM
Every year, the West Richmond Community Centre hosts West Fest; an end-of-summer free family event held on the last Wednesday in August. This western-themed event includes live entertainment, face painting, bouncy castles, pie eating contents, relays, BBQ concession, and a photo booth! At dusk, the crowd settles in for a screening of a feature-length film – this year we’ll be showing Big Hero 6. It’s a lovely way to spend a late summer evening.
The grass may be brown, but we are thinking green for this event! Arrive by bike or on foot to be entered into a draw, and refill your reusable water bottles at Save-On-Foods’ water refilling station!
EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Wednesday August 26
Time: 6:30-10:30pm (movie begins at dusk)
Location: West Richmond Community Centre (9180 No. 1 Road)
Location: West Richmond Community Centre (9180 No. 1 Road)
This event is free. BBQ concession available.

Outside
If the weather is nice, we go out on the deck to play with bubbles...
...and chalk
Learning how to blow bubbles
Taking turns to dip the wands into the solution
Imaginative Play
Casting magic spells with her magic wand
These two drove these cars all over the room...
...from carpet to carpet...

...and then under tables...
...through tunnels...
..
...even under the lego table...
...no space too small...
...this lead to the teachers creating a long tunnel...
...for everyone!
They took turns crawling through the tunnel
Which became more challenging
And then it turned into a train!!!
All Aboard!!
The train to Two's Time is chugging along at a wonderful pace and we hope to keep moving forward!
Choo-Choo,
