Head Lake Park will be filled with free games and activities for kids of all ages to enjoy as Haliburton Rotary Summerfest returns Aug. 5, from 4-7:30 p.m.
Spokesperson Ursula Devolin said, “once again, local businesses, clubs, and service organizations have partnered with the Rotary Club to create an amazing day of fun for families.”
She added this year’s features include two giant inflatables sponsored by Century 21, the Re/Max hot air balloon, animal interactions with Zoo to You and Turtle Guardians, animal-themed crafts from Haliburton Home Hardware, activity tables from Point in Time, Nine Square presented by the Bridge, stand-up paddle boarding by Algonquin Outfitters, frisbee golf by Abbey Gardens, and “so much more.”
In addition to all the activities, Devolin said there will be free cotton candy and popcorn. Complimentary ice cream will also be served starting at 5 p.m. while supplies last. Pockets the Clown will be in the park doing her elaborate face paintings. Music in the Park will run from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. starting with local opening act Tom Oliver, followed by Adverse Conditions.
