❤️ From the bottom of our hearts.....THANK YOU!
What an absolutely incredible day at our Stafford Party in the Park! The weather couldn't have been more perfect, the park was filled with laughter, smiles, and families making memories, and none of it would have been possible without the amazing support of our community.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all of our wonderful sponsors, donors, volunteers, vendors, and everyone who came out to support this year's event.
💙 A huge thank you to our sponsors: • Laurentian Valley Township for sponsoring Ry's Bounce Castle and providing the hot dogs. • Valley Buns Bakery for generously donating all of the hamburger and hot dog buns. • Sunset Nursery for donating the beautiful plants for our Junior Gardeners Competition and for taking on the difficult job of judging all of the amazing entries.
🎁 Thank you to our incredible raffle supporters! We are so grateful to the 21 local businesses and community members who donated prizes for our raffle tables, including: • No Frills • Roanoke Golf Club • Mobbez Play Planet & Arcade • Country Cupboard • Law & Orders • Pet Valu • Priceless Maintenance • Our 2026 Vendors • Community Members • Committee Members
Your generosity helped make our raffle tables such a success! Congratulations to all our winners! 👏
🚒 A very special thank you to the Laurentian Valley Fire Department. This amazing group of volunteers puts their lives on the line every day, yet they always find time to give back to our community. From the slip-and-slide and fire truck tours to helping with setup, takedown, and even jumping into the kitchen when needed—you are truly an incredible group of people with even bigger hearts. We appreciate you.
🛍️ To all of our Amazing Vendors... thank you! Although this year's event looked a little different after being rescheduled, you still helped put smiles on everyones faces, and brought that community spirit. Many of you donated wonderful items for our Vendor Basket, including vendors that unfortunately, couldn't make it after we rescheduled our event and we are especially grateful to Little Things Canning Company located downtown Pembroke for generously donating a portion of their proceeds back to Stafford Park.
📺 Thank you to John Butler from YourTV for taking the time to come out, help promote our event, capture photos and video, and share our story with the community. We look forward to watching it on The Hub!
🎨 Thank you to Happy Valley Face Painting for helping put countless smiles on children's faces with your amazing artwork.
⚾ A special thank you to Pembroke Little League for bringing a couple of teams out to play during our event. It was wonderful to see the diamonds full of young athletes, families, and community members enjoying the games throughout the day. The ball games added even more excitement and energy to the park, and we truly appreciate you being part of our celebration!
💛 To every volunteer and committee member... THANK YOU! From setting up early in the morning to cleaning up at the end of the day, working the canteen and barbecue, selling tickets, organizing activities, and doing all the behind-the-scenes jobs that often go unnoticed—you gave your time, energy, and hearts. Everything ran so smoothly because of each and every one of you.
And finally... THANK YOU to our amazing community. ❤️
To everyone who came out, enjoyed the barbecue, supported our raffles, visited our vendors, cheered on our Junior Gardeners, and simply spent the day with us—thank you for making Stafford Party in the Park such a wonderful success.
Every dollar raised goes directly back into Stafford Park to support improvements, upgrades, and future initiatives that benefit our community for years to come.
Thank you for making memories with us. We can't wait to see everyone again next year! ☀️🌳💙
