Elm Creek Canada Day Celebrations – Thank You!

Katie Cares was honoured to be invited to take part in the Canada Day celebrations in Elm Creek! The community spirit was alive and well throughout the day, and we felt truly welcomed.

The day began with a delicious breakfast and a vibrant parade. Afternoon festivities included a car and truck show, pony rides, bouncy castle, face painting—and the highlight of the day—the Skills Competition! Katie Cares was the recipient of the entry fees from this event, receiving a generous donation of $1,000.00.

A total of 11 teams, featuring a wide range of ages, participated in the fun-filled competition. Events included tire rolling, matching bolts to nuts, cornhole, sawing wood, hoop toss, wood stacking, ball toss, and a 25-piece puzzle challenge. The creativity and enthusiasm of each team made for an exciting and memorable event.

Congratulations to all the teams, and especially to our winners:

        🥇 1st Place: Spits and Giggles

        🥈 2nd Place: Gapher & Tobin

        🥉 3rd Place: Senior 2 Group

Each winning team received prizes and a trophy!

The evening wrapped up with free pizza, fries, mini donuts, and a tractor pull, creating the perfect ending to a day that felt like an old-fashioned community fair—full of laughter, fun, and heart.

Thank you to the event coordinators, volunteers, and all participants for your generosity and for making us feel so at home in your beautiful community. Your support helps us continue to care for families when they need it most.

With gratitude,
Katie Cares
