Jelly bean dancing, talent, scrabble, baking, charity, and neighbours all rolled into one event during a weekend! Sounds interesting!
Okotoks recently had a Fall Festival that featured a Jelly Bean dance where all ages could participate. Over 150 people danced and jiggled and I would imagine ate jelly beans! What a super way to have a family event. A few children were brave and stood up for the "Okotoks' Got Talent" portion of the event.
The following day a Scrabble tournament was held with around 150 participants facing each other over a friendly competition of word crafting. A food collection was taken for the food bank to help others. Of course, food is always part of festivities so a bake off was held with delicious goodies.
Last but not least, a section of Okotoks was named "the most neighbourly ACE place to live". The ACE steering committee has been working at creating neighbourhood awareness and during the fall festival the winner was announced.
Okotoks residents are saying the loved the festivities and they want more. To me, that shows that people do want to be more neighbourly. When festivals like this are created then opportunities to be neighbourly flourish. Way to go Okotoks!
