An opportunity to see your Centre and see what happens here!

If you missed it, you'll want to make sure you add it to your Halloween schedule of events for 2015.

Thanks to our hard working volunteers the Haunted House was another huge success this past October. Our devoted volunteers spent hours setting up the house then had a blast scaring all the little boils and ghouls that braved their way way through the Haunted House and of course they all stuck around to help with the clean-up.

We couldn't have done it without them. THANK YOU!!!

Look for the date of our next Haunted House in the Fall/Winter, 2015/16 issue of our Rascals newsletter and on our website at www.robertasteencc.ca.

Another Winter Carnival has come and gone leaving us with some great memories. The sun was shining on us all while we enjoyed being pulled through our beautiful neighbourhood by the majestic Clydesdales.

This year’s Winter Carnival once again had a Mardi Gras theme which set the mood for the weekends’ events. Our Saturday night Family Dance was provided with some great music from our DJ (Andre) from Quest Musique. Our ever entertaining community bartenders kept everyone moving and shaking.

In the absence of a hockey convenor to organize a hockey tournament, we instead had a great time watching our Jackrabbit players host Sturgeon Heights Community Centre and Roblin Park Community Centre players in some fun games on Saturday. Thanks Coach Lee for making it a great time for all our players.

You may have been here to enjoy many of our fun festivities such as the family dance, pancake breakfasts, BBQs, bouncy castle, carnival games, card bingo, eating contests and auction draw! It was a great time for everyone. It was wonderful to see the community pull together to make this carnival fun for everyone. It would never have hap-pened without all those who helped.

To see Carnival photos, visit Facebook.com/Robertasteencc

For your contributions to making this another Winter Carnival to remember:

Thanks for the memories!We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
