			The event began with a friendly relay race.  North Battleford Leisure Services mascot, Leisure Lee, took on the local fire department mascot, Sparky, for a circuit of fun outdoor activities. “Picnic on the Plaza” included a variety of children’s games such as giant jenga, water balloon toss, giant checkers, a bouncy castle, face painting and more! A BBQ lunch was offered, along with a free water and sunscreen station to keep everyone safe and hydrated in the warm weather. Musical entertainment was provided by Kaleigh Hargreaves and Singing with Sylvia.
