momstown Niagara Family Fun Day: A Great Success!

We held our momstown Niagara launch event this past Family Day and were so overwhelmed by the

amazing turnout!  Our special guests, Jim Bradley MPP for St. Catharines, and momstown President, Ann-Marie Burton joined us for our ribbon cutting ceremony as momstown officially became a part of the Niagara Region!  WooHoo!!!

  The day was jam packed with entertainment for the families of Niagara.  With this being our first of many large events, we knew it would be a huge learning curve, but I never anticipated the only problem we'd run into throughout the day was crowd control!  We were really hoping for a good turnout, but never expected almost 2000 people! Amazing!!  Here's a recap of the day's events!

The lineup started well before we opened the doors at 10:00.  Our 100 swag bags were gone within 20 minutes!  

We started the day off with a fantastic dance recital by Creative Dance Company.  The girls did a great job and this was a great way for them to rehearse for their big competition the following week!

We discovered so many fantastic businesses right here in the Niagara Region that made this event so much fun for everyone.  

 

Mad Science of Niagara drew a huge crowd and captivated the audience with some awesome entertaining and educational experiments!

Club Rex provided a hands-on dinosaur experience!  It was an engaging and interactive way to learn about these prehistoric creatures.

There were so many painted faces walking around by RW Entertainment! She did a great job!

Niagara Inflatables provided a great place for the kids to burn off some energy while jumping and climbing!

Our title sponsor, Sugar & Spice Retreat Spa offered free brow waxing with a donation to Community Care and many other services right at the event with a percentage of the proceeds going to Community Care as well.  They raised $200 for this great organization!

We had so many great demonstrations throughout the day, including: Kindermusik, Zuddha Yoga, Little Kickers, 4Cats Art Studio and a great concert by Corrie & Jamie!

Even Clifford made an appearance!  Thank you Scholastic Canada for sending him our way!

Seeing as this was an event for the whole family, we wanted to make sure we had something for everyone, including the dad's, so Subaru of Niagara was a great addition to our event!

Springy's Tot Shoppe was a great place to shop on a day when all stores are closed!  They set up a store right at the event, filled with all your baby and kiddie needs!

There were so many other exciting things to see and do, I could go on and on...I'll try not to!  I do, however; want to throw a special shout out to Peninsula Press for providing momstown Niagara with all of our awesome signage and fulfilling all of our printing needs since we opened earlier this year.  Fantastic job!!!

Through the generosity of the residents of Niagara, we collected 1200 lbs of food and almost $300 for Community Care.  We were so proud to see all seven of the bins overflowing by the end of the day!

 

All in all, the day was a huge success and we look forward to bringing more great events to Niagara in the future.  We'll be celebrating momstown's 6th Birthday this August.  Stay tuned for details!

A huge THANK YOU to Calvin Frank Photography for capturing these amazing moments at the event and our amazing volunteers.  We couldn't have done it without you!
