Smoky River Family and Community Support Services is happy to announce its next Family Dance, taking place on Sept. 12.
FCSS Director Crystal Tremblay says they’re hoping folks will come out to enjoy a great community event, with an opportunity to visit with neighbours and to meet new people.
“We are hoping with the new location we can get new families and new friends to join in our family friendly event,” says Tremblay. “We want the new location to create a different atmosphere and bring in new bands to expand the varieties of music that will be offered.”
Tremblay says the event will now be held at the Smoky River Community Hall, with all money that is raised going back into the hall. Doors will open at 7 pm, and she’s hoping that there will be a lot of support for this month’s dance. Snacks will also be provided to attendees.
“Entrance to the dance will be by donation,” explains Tremblay. “It’s a great chance to socialize, enjoy local music, and visit and meet people from the area.”
Tremblay says everyone and anyone is welcome to attend. If you’re unable to attend, don’t fret.
FCSS plans on continuing to host dances in upcoming months.
The next dances are planned for Oct. 10, Nov. 14 and every second Friday of each month. Tremblay urges folks to watch the Smoky River FCSS Facebook page for any announcements.
