What a weekend in Thorsby! ❄️🎉

Cold temperatures definitely did not stop our community from showing up for Saturday’s Family Fun Day at the Arctic Spas Recreation Complex. The facility and grounds were absolutely packed all afternoon with bouncy houses, the petting zoo, Top Shot hockey, glitter tattoos, toddler play zone, roving magician, community BBQ, slo-pitch tournament, beer gardens, and so much more.

On top of all of that, we also hosted our Amazon return giveaway sale with thousands of items finding new homes back into the community. The lineup, excitement, and community spirit all weekend long were incredible to see!

A massive THANK YOU goes out to our amazing Recreation Team for the many hours of planning, organizing, setup, troubleshooting, and cleanup that made this event possible:
Sam, Sofia, Jenna, Jody, Alexa, Lorelei, Muriel, and Brynn. 👏

Special recognition to Sam for leading the organization of this year’s event and doing an outstanding job coordinating all of the moving pieces involved.

Huge thanks as well to Thorsby Communities in Bloom Society for running the beer gardens throughout the weekend, the Thorsby Grads for hosting the BBQ fundraiser, Brandon Powlik for organizing another fantastic slo-pitch tournament, and CL DJ Services for keeping the music going and providing glitter tattoos for the kids.

We are lucky to live in a community that continues to show up, volunteer, support one another, and make events like this so special.

Thank you, Thorsby! ❤️
